Careershift for Libraries

Make your library a hub for career success

Libraries play a vital role in connecting communities to trusted resources – and career support is no exception. Careershift enables libraries to deliver meaningful, lifelong career services by connecting patrons to a database of employers, professional contacts, and hidden job opportunities.

Career services your community wants – and needs

Only 29% of recent graduates report being engaged in their current job. Early-career professionals change roles every 3–5 years, and alumni continue to seek guidance long after graduation.

Careershift allows libraries to meet this need by offering a career research platform that supports job exploration, networking, and professional growth – all through a trusted library resource.

By offering Careershift, libraries extend their impact beyond research and discovery into career advancement and lifelong learning.

Expanding career support into the library

Careershift helps libraries serve as an accessible entry point to career services. Whether working independently or in partnership with a career center, libraries can provide equitable access to career research tools for users who may not otherwise engage with traditional career services.

  Expand access to career support across campus.
  Reinforce the library’s role as a central, trusted resource.
  Support alumni and lifelong learners beyond graduation.
