About Orbit

Orbit is the hiring network Kepler U is building around its graduates. It formalizes the relationships we already have with the agencies and brands that hire our alumni, and turns them into a structured network that connects employers directly to proven, job-ready talent.

The Goal

Close the last gap between graduation and a job offer. Our graduates arrive with applied platform experience, a live campaign portfolio and a professional network, which is exactly what a résumé screen can’t show. Orbit puts them in front of the employers looking for that.
