New APIConnect mobile app meets students where
they are and delivers a seamless experience for onboarding,
orientation, and on-site delivery.
AUSTIN,
Texas, May 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Academic
Programs International (API), an experiential learning and
education technology provider, is pleased to launch the APIConnect
mobile app for students. With this new app, students have useful
features that make their onboarding, orientation, and on-site
experiences safer and more enjoyable. Students can download the app
from the Apple App and Google Play stores for the spring 2024
application season.
Using the APIConnect app, every student
will be supported at every stage of their experiential learning
journey.
Once students have applied to their program, APIConnect allows
them to quickly dive into their onboarding process and easily and
securely upload documents, such as their passport, headshot, and
transcript, right from their phone. Furthermore, students receive
notifications and nudges to ensure they stay on track and don't
miss important deadlines. Prior to this launch, onboarding was one
of the most stressful and cumbersome parts of the experiential
learning process industry-wide. The APIConnect app makes it fun and
easy for students.
The app also improves the orientation portion of the student
journey, creating a level of consistency and access that is
unparalleled in the industry. Students can watch videos and review
important materials relevant to their personalized program and can
access the content for reference again and again, at any time, from
any place.
Once students arrive in their host country, the APIConnect app
transforms into an on-site concierge, providing important
information about health and safety, their API resident director,
housing details, city guides, travel management, calendar of
events, activity planning and more.
"API is on a mission to serve all students who want to
study or intern abroad and to use technology to meet them where
they are. In addition to providing unprecedented levels of student
choice, we are making the onboarding, orientation, and on-site
delivery of programs easier, safer, more intuitive, more
affordable, and less stressful through our app," said Patrick Vogt, CEO. "The APIConnect mobile app
will substantially improve students' feelings of preparedness and
readiness by increasing transparency, providing choice,
personalization, and delivering the right content at the right time
from wherever students are. Using the APIConnect app, every student
will be supported at every stage of their experiential learning
journey. This is the start of a new level of service and support
for students in our industry."
