ImBlaze 2.0 is Here!

We heard you. We heard your students. So, we've launched ImBlaze2.0.

August 4th, we have launched the biggest updates we've made to ImBlaze in years. We have both revamped some of our core functionalities and we have added some awesome new features that will help you streamline your program and help guide your students through their journey with confidence and ease.

Here is a quick video where our Product Manager, Wilson Platt, will give you a rundown of the key changes you should explore first. Then, read though the rest of the blog to see all the new things you and your students will see in ImBlaze this year.

These are the functionalities in ImBlaze that we have updated:

Attendance

Swipe to check in and out or notify an educator and mentor of an absence with a click of a button.

Custom Student Journey Flow

Tailor ImBlaze to match your program’s goals and workflow —request, outreach, interview, and beyond. This will determine how to guide the students through each step of their journey.

Milestones, Not Daily Goals

Track meaningful achievements instead

of relying on generic replies to goals and

accomplishment at check in/out. These can be added by students, educators, and mentors!

Interest-Based Search

Students get curated opportunity recommendations based on their selections from an interest picklist

and can add their own!

Now check out these features that are brand new to ImBlaze:

Internship Notes App

Students can journal in-app and share their reflections with their educators.

Google & Apple SSO

Faster, simpler mobile login options.

No more forgotten passwords.

External Discovery Tool

ImBlaze scrapes the web to find new companies and auto-fill listings. You will be able to approve all external suggestions from students.

Potential Projects

Every opportunity can now show sample

projects and these can be AI-generated!

Quick Add for Educators

Enter just a name of a mentor or company, and let AI fill in the rest of the opportunity details.

(Going live in September)

Biweekly Ratings

Students will be prompted to give a 1–5 star rating every 2 weeks so you can get a pulse check on how things are going.

Text Reminders

Students and mentors get opt-in SMS nudges & approval texts.

As always, the ImBlaze team has your back. We will be hosting demos, trainings, and office hours so you can ask us all your questions and get support with utilizing these new features for your program.

We also have a list of resources here to help get you started. Check them out here!

Here is a rollout timeline so you know when to expect these changes and events:

• Text Message Reminders are live!

• Student App + New Features are live!

• Throughout August we will host Demos & Trainings. Sign up here!

• AI Quick Add for Educators coming in September
