TalentED for Universities
Help creative students break into their industry.
Connect your students with working professionals in fashion, photography, design, and the performing arts. Through small group sessions and 1:1 mentorship, students can ask specific career questions, learn how the industry works, and leave with practical next steps.
TalentED can live in a dedicated, co-branded portal for your institution. Start with a single-term pilot shaped around your students and your career programming.
What a partnership includes
Guidance from people doing the work
Students meet professionals who are active in the fields they want to enter. Sessions can focus on portfolios, finding collaborators, navigating early opportunities, and turning an interest into a career plan.
A portal built for your students
Your institution gets a dedicated portal with its name and branding. Students can explore relevant mentors and book available small group or 1:1 sessions.
Mentors that fit your programs
Choose the professionals your students see, or give them access to the broader TalentED network. We can shape the selection around your departments and the careers your students are pursuing.
A clear next step after each session
Students receive a written recap and personalized next steps, so the conversation gives them something they can act on.
