Workforce Development | Message

Successful workforce development programs are distinguished by the clear value add they bring to students' lives. Unfortunately, that value is not often heard or lost among students' other priorities. Message’s engagement solution helps to increase enrollment and retention by reaching busy students where they are – on their phone. Texting allows students to learn about the value of your program while they’re on the train commuting or standing on the sidelines of a soccer field. And by leveraging what you know about your students, Message allows for easy, targeted, and personalized outreach that will support your students every step of the way.

Reconnect job seekers to the workforce by nudging them toward success

Reconnect unemployed to job training

Target the applicants who need mentoring

From resume building to interview practice, there are a lot of moments where it's easy for applicants to get discouraged and give up. Use texts to nudge these applicants throughout the job search.

Support employed workers to persist in their careers

Follow up on current internships, interviews and career development opportunities to see how workers are doing and motivate those who may be at risk for unemployment.
