Chicago, IL (July 9, 2024) – Prestigious International Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Educational Tech Products and Companies. Archer Career, an early career confidence builder, today announced that it has been selected as winner of the 2024 “Career Readiness Solution of the Year” award in the 6th annual EdTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.
Archer Career works within higher education to better engage students in active learning, applying behavioral science and step-by-step microlearning paths to educate and empower them to achieve career goals. The platform is grounded in the science of behavioral change, breaking down the complex career exploration process into weekly activities and small steps that can be completed ten minutes at a time. Archer offers a library of content built through successfully coaching over 30,000 early career professionals, but the platform is also flexible allowing for customized career-specific content.
Learners start by accessing a career program through their mobile phone or browser, then go on to complete five to ten short activities each week that are typically five to 15 minutes each. Activities include skill-building exercises, videos, surveys, how-to information, and more. The application tracks the progress and completion of the course and content is validated to ensure alignment for the modern employer environment. Automation helps career advisors nudge students, and real-time analytics ensure engagement, progress, and connection to student outcomes.
The Company’s “microlearning” programs are asynchronous, personalized, and tailored to the audience, learner and career stage – with breakthrough AI technology that generates videos, activities, and assignments to encourage program completion. They can also be combined with live learned in a flipped classroom modality.
“Archer’s platform delivers structure, momentum, and accountability, using behavioral science and step-by-step micro-learning paths to educate and empower individuals to launch a career. Confident students present themselves effectively, articulate skills and experiences, and make favorable impressions.
