Case Study: CIEE (Brazilian nonprofit for student career development) achieves large-scale student engagement and talent identification with 6Connex virtual event platform

Delivering a Virtual Job Fair to Identify Talent and Measure Ability in the Marketplace

CIEE (Center for Company-School Integration, Rio) and partner Vero Solutions faced the challenge of delivering career training and connecting high school, technical, and university students with recruiters across Rio de Janeiro without in-person events. They turned to 6Connex’s configurable virtual event platform to host Expo CIEE Rio 2017, a five-day virtual career fair designed to provide professional training, networking, and candidate assessment for internships and apprenticeships.

Using 6Connex, students accessed training sessions, downloadable booth content, networking lounges, and gamified assessments while recruiters reviewed candidate rankings and engaged via chats and forums. The event generated 28,191 visits, 77,162 job applicants, 241,284 content views, 3,523 one-to-one chats, 66,000 booth visits and an average visit duration of 1:50; of 18,546 registrants, 18,048 records were shared and 13,885 resumes submitted. Post-event feedback showed 91% felt the virtual expo was equal to or better than a physical fair, 87% would recommend it, and 73% would attend again—demonstrating 6Connex’s measurable impact on reach, engagement, and talent identification.
