Career Coach Setup

Important

Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.

Overview

Schools that use Emsi Career Coach can now integrate it with J1 Web and the Campus Portal. This allows students to view their own assessment in the Campus Portal, and advisors to see their advisee's assessment results in J1 Web.

The Career Coach block appears on a student's Advisee Spotlight page.

Assumptions

Before the setup steps below, it is assumed that the institution has an existing contract with Emsi Career Coach, and has implemented the Jenzabar Unity platform with J1 Web.

J1 Web Setup

  • Permissions. In order for advisors to have access to see an advisee's assessment results, they must have the Can view Career Coach permission.

  • Ensure the Unity Platform is linked. This step must be performed by a user with system administration permissions. On the Product Installs and Sign In page (in the System Administration hub), ensure that the Jenzabar Unity Platform URL is populated with URL for the server location set up when your school integrated the Unity platform. It is likely already populated, but it is an important element, and Career Coach will not work without it.

Email Address Setup

  • Link student emails with Career Coach accounts. This step should primarily be automatic if your institution already has Emsi Career Coach implemented. The J1 Web syncing process runs every minute to find matches between Emsi email addresses and system emails.

    If a student created an Emsi account with a different email address from the one in Student Information, there are several ways to correct this:

    • The student can create a new Career Coach account with the appropriate email, or...

    • The student can add the email address they used for Emsi in the Campus Portal (My Profile and Settings, Contact information)

    • The student's system email can be changed on the Person Information Details page, Contact Info tab.

Campus Portal Setup

Add the Career Coach feature to the Campus Portal:

  • Add the Career Coach feature to a Page

  • Grant students access to Career Coach

  • Enable visibility for Career Coach features

Tip

The instructions are also in the Campus Portal online help.
