Why we exist.
Starting a career, or changing direction can feel like guesswork. Applications vanish. Interviews stall. Confidence dips.
We created Devant to make that transition less lonely and more doable. Our approach blends smart, practical AI-powered tools with human coaching and real-world employer events, so progress isn’t about luck, it’s about clarity, support and next steps that make sense.
For institutions, we help you stay connected with students and alumni while showcasing measurable outcomes and driving continued success.
For individuals, we keep it simple and accessible. Tools. Support. Momentum.
That's Devant.

I’m from a post-secondary education institution. How can we work together?
We collaborate with colleges and universities to provide comprehensive career support for both students and alumni. For current students, we offer access to Devant’s Career Success platform - featuring interactive tools, live workshops, and personalized guidance to help them prepare for the job market. For graduates, our Alumni Advantage platform extends that support beyond school, connecting them with recruiters, networking events, and advanced career resources. Together, these solutions help institutions strengthen engagement, employability, and long-term alumni success.
What questions do your clients usually ask?
Our clients often ask:
- How can I make my resume or LinkedIn profile stand out?
- What should I expect in Canadian job interviews?
- How can I connect with recruiters and employers in my field?
- What’s the best way to stay motivated and confident during my job search?
- How can our school track alumni outcomes and measure career success?
