Build an Alumni Networking App
Foster long-term connections among graduates by building a dedicated alumni networking platform that includes messaging, events, mentorships, and job opportunities.Alumni platforms promote engagement between educational institutions and their former students. By developing this app, you’ll gain experience in authentication, community features, group messaging, event planning, and user segmentation—all critical to full-stack app development.
Enable verified alumni to register, create profiles, search and message batchmates, post or browse events, and support mentorship and job referrals. Admins can manage access, moderate content, and promote announcements.
Verified Alumni Onboarding
Allow sign-up using institutional email, graduation year, department, and pass automated or manual verification.
Searchable Member Directory
Enable users to filter alumni by batch, department, location, company, or industry.
Direct & Group Messaging
Support 1-on-1 chat and batch-based group conversations with optional media sharing.
Event Management & Notifications
Create alumni meets, reunions, and online webinars with RSVP functionality and push reminders.
Once registered and verified, alumni gain access to a private directory where they can discover fellow batchmates, join discussions, share updates, and attend events. Mentorship and job posting modules allow experienced alumni to give back and guide younger graduates.
- Users register using verified credentials (email or ID).
- Profile includes bio, batch year, department, company, location, and skills.
- Search for others by graduation year, field, or job title and initiate chat.
- Participate in reunions or webinars hosted within the app.
- Mentorship features allow pairing between alumni and juniors seeking career guidance.
- Job board enables alumni to share openings or refer candidates internally.
