The story
AfterCollege was one of the first entry-level job boards on the Internet, created in 1996 by students at Stanford University and originally called "The Job Resource". The service allowed students at Stanford to upload their resumes for employers to browse. The website grew in popularity and soon after spread to other campuses. In 1999, the service was incorporated and renamed AfterCollege. In 2009, AfterCollege received a Webby Honoree Award for best design in the employment category. In early 2010, AfterCollege was named one of the top niche career sites by members of the public in an online competition run by the United States Department of Labor.
In March 2012 AfterCollege participated in President Obama’s launch of Summer Jobs+, an initiative to provide employment opportunities for low-income and disconnected youth.
In August 2012, AfterCollege relaunched as a professional network for college students and recent graduates, offering profile tools and revamped job matching.
In April 2015, AfterCollege acquired Collegefeed, a service that also focused on helping college students find jobs.
