2. How it Works Overview
Enroll Students
Seamless Enrollment Integration
As students register for their first year at the school, sign up for experiential learning activities, or access career services, they can be automatically enrolled in InStage's support system. Our AI assistant takes over communication from there, providing personalized guidance throughout their journey. Students also have the option to self-enroll directly if they wish to access the support independently.
