What iLeader does for your institution

Four outcomes your institution is already trying to move.

Reduce dropout

Non-cognitive skills — self-efficacy, goal-setting, conflict resolution, resilience — predict persistence. iLeader gives every student access to coaching on those skills.

Increase graduation rates

Coaching supports students through the transition moments that cause dropout: first-year overwhelm, mid-program doubt, graduation-phase anxiety.

Boost employability and time-to-first-job

Role-play customized for job-interview preparation, professional communication, handling difficult workplace moments. The skills employers report missing in new graduates.

Extend your career services team

One-to-one coaching capacity for every student, job-seeker, and youth, in any language, 24/7 — beyond what office hours can reach.

Where iLeader fits

Five ways academic Charter Partners are using iLeader.

Career services augmentation — extend one-on-one career coaching to every student. Can also act as support to Career Advisors.
First-year experience and student success — self-management, communication, and resilience skills that predict persistence through the first-year high-risk window.
Graduation-phase support — career-choice anxiety, interview preparation, confidence, and stress in the final semester.
International and first-generation student support — coaching available 24/7 in their first language, navigating a new culture or first-in-family experience.
Commuter, part-time, and adult-learner support — populations who typically don't use in-person office hours.
