Los Angeles, CA – Big news here at Primerli!

Think of it as giving students and alumni an edge—a way to explore industries and build foundational knowledge that boosts confidence and helps them ace interviews.
It's no secret students love video learning. So it's no surprise that Primerli has received thousands of access requests from students over the last few years. We’ve heard the demand loud and clear—students want industry knowledge to be part of their career journey. That’s why we’re partnering with uConnect, offering 5 full primers to their existing higher education partners and industry introduction videos across the entire video library.
Interview skills are critical, but industry knowledge can help students differentiate themselves from other candidates, quickly. A solid foundational knowledge of an industry can turn a traditional one-sided interview into a 2-way dialogues about industry challenges, trends and insights! In this two-sided conversation—students aren't just answering questions; they're bringing insights to the table. And differentiating themselves in the eyes of the employer!
And let’s talk about imposter syndrome—the elephant in every job seeker’s room. With a solid grasp of an industry’s trends, challenges, and opportunities, students walk into interviews with confidence and credibility. That’s what Primerli’s primers are all about.
Hakan Unsal, CEO of Primerli, summed it up perfectly: “Students don’t just need great interview skills; they need to understand the industries they’re stepping into. This partnership with uConnect gives students and alumni the tools to transform nerves into confidence and surface-level conversations into meaningful, career-making dialogues.”
David Kozhuk, CEO of uConnect, added: “Our goal is simple—equip careers teams with everything they need to make career services accessible and impactful for all the students they serve.
