Below is a look at some of the features we’ve built.
Generally these fall into the categories of communication, education and administration. We’re always open to adding new features. Take a look at how we work with programs.
Coaching - Interactive Learning
Through a combination of user interactions, reminders, encouragement and nudging, basic financial & career-readiness topics are taught to students. The students' own money & experiences are used to illustrate the topics and drive engagement. Each student customizes their own digital assistant, who guides them through a process of learning.
Communication
Announcements are delivered to each student's phone.
Customized notifications & reminders can be sent through the app.
Program documents & links can be uploaded and accessed from the app.
Messaging allows coaches, student and admins to communicate easily, quickly, and safely.
Surveys are delivered instantaneously.
Checklists show program status and obligations.
Employers, parents and coaches all have access to app communication.
The app contains an event calendar, where events can be communicated and tracked.
Educational Material & Courses
Students can learn at their own pace and reinforce concepts. The curriculum is configurable and can be updated with desired material.
Data Collection, Funding Justification & Data-Driven Analysis
All of Empower's data can be searched and aggregated by administrators and coaches. This can be used to monitor progress, justify funding and make decisions. The following is an example of the some of the data available:
