Ten Thousand Coffees

Great product to enable early career connectivity in a virtual workforce

Zalety:

Love the automated smart matching and overall automation which saves our early career team time and resources in running a summer intern networking program. Also it is a very user-friendly product with smart nudges and reminders.

Wady:

Would like to see direct calendar integration and more features on the hub itself.

Amazing Platform

Komentarze: This has been a tremendous asset in growing my network within my organization and beyond with my student network. I love the platform and I love learning from people as well sharing my own personal experiences

Zalety:

The software is easy to use - very user friendly. Innovative with your profile creation and super creative.

Wady:

I would like to see improvement when matching with someone of they are looking for advice or wanting to give advice based of off their profile selections.

Great potential

Zalety:

The Ten Thousand Coffees program has great potential to create meaningful and impactful networking relationships especially in our virtual world. I am part of a college hub and when used, the students get a lot of great practice networking virtually. The biggest issue is engagement (what isn't though!).

Wady:

I think an app with a chat/search/push notification of monthly matches/office hours would make the software better utilized amongst student users.

10K coffees

Komentarze: We've really enjoyed it! One thing we've really been liking recently is the events that have been hosted by 10k Coffees and are available to all members. Also, the staff are really kind and responsive.

Zalety:

This software is a great way for people to connect with each other. I like the office hours option and it's been great during COVID for our constituents to connect with one another with relative ease.

Wady:

One thing we've struggled with is the categories that people can choose a role (that we set - graduate, 1 or second year student, seasoned alumni, etc.) but we can't necessarily filter by what they're looking for. This means that sometimes our communications are limited to where they are in their career, rather than what they're looking for. Because we're a College, we have many people in our community who may come back mid-life for a career change, and it'd be nice to be able to use this data for a bit more than just what role they've used. We've tried to troubleshoot this with our 10k coffees rep, and it seems there's little we can do.

A Great Product

Komentarze: I have used Ten Thousand Coffees to stay connected with colleagues, and to connect my students with alumni and other professionals. As a user, I love the introductions as I have now connected with people that I may not have had the opportunity to connect with otherwise. As an administrator I regularly received positive feedback from our students.

Zalety:

Regular introductions with like-minded individuals The ability to control how often I received introductions

Wady:

Messaging can be challenging. Usually we take our conversations offline.
