“Bringing together our academic experience with Basta's career-readiness expertise will allow us to assist our students more holistically and become the central support system they need.”
— A Powered By Basta partner
Basta’s flexible career-preparation platform is designed with insights from 80,000+ STUDENTS. It combines live guidance with AI-enabled, personalized tools to equip students with clarity, confidence, and the networks they need for internships and first jobs.
“Basta’s design made a big impression.
The way students progress through the modules and then ‘unlock’ access to employers felt a bit like gamification, which was exciting for them.”
— Andre Fontenelle, Director of Career and Employer Engagement, Brooklyn College
