Question 1

What is UTern?

Accepted Answer

UTern gives every student one agent, Birdee, from enrollment to employment: from the first class to the first job. Today Birdee, UTern's AI, finds the few real internships that fit, turns class projects, jobs, clubs and GitHub into skills on the student's Record, checks a skill through a conversation about the student's own work (no quizzes, no resume required), plans how to stand out with AI (the next project to build, the course worth taking and who to reach out to), and drafts application answers from the student's real work for the student to edit and submit. Companies come to students: a company's role is read against each Record without the student's name or photo, and nothing is shared until the student says yes. For hiring teams, Birdee scopes a paid 10-week project, finds students who fit on UTern and the open web, and the company interviews and decides. Posting a role costs $0, and a company pays only when it hires: $750 for its first hire in 12 months, less after. Students never pay.

Question 2

What does from enrollment to employment mean?

Accepted Answer

Birdee is with a student from the first class to the first job, and the skills they build, the work they prove and the companies that find them all live on one Record. Today Birdee finds internships, builds the Record and helps the student apply. Coming next: handling classes (waitlists, holds and add/drop deadlines), short paid projects that count for credit, sending the applications a student approves, reading a transcript into skills, and a view for the career office.

Question 3

Does UTern apply for me?

Accepted Answer

Not today. Birdee drafts every answer from your real work, side by side with the application, and you edit, copy and submit it yourself. Birdee sending only the applications you approve is coming next. Companies hiring on UTern see a student only after that student says yes to their role.

Question 4

Do I need a resume?

Accepted Answer

No. Tell Birdee what you have done (class projects, jobs, clubs, GitHub) and the skills go on your Record. Birdee checks a skill through a conversation about your own work. There are no quizzes.

Question 5

What does UTern cost?

Accepted Answer

Students never pay. Companies post a role for $0 and pay only when they hire: $750 for the first hire in 12 months, $600 each for the 2nd and 3rd, $500 from the 4th. Custom pricing for 10 or more hires a year starts at $500 per hire.

Question 6

How do companies find students on UTern?

Accepted Answer

A company describes the work and Birdee scopes a paid 10-week project. Birdee finds students whose work fits, on UTern and the open web, and reads each Record against the scope without the student's name, photo, school rank or graduation year. Each student says yes to the role in one tap before the company sees them, and the company interviews and decides.

Question 7

Where do UTern's internships come from?

Accepted Answer

They are read directly from employers' own careers sites and applicant tracking systems, including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, SmartRecruiters and Workable, and refreshed every day. They are not resold from a job-board feed.
