GRCC is one of Stunio's four signed West Michigan partners, alongside Grand Valley, Calvin, and Baker College. Grand Rapids is the center of gravity for our fall launches, and GRCC students will benefit from every employer any school in the region brings on — while GRCC's trades and MTEC programs give employers something no other school here offers.

July 23 Meeting
On July 23 we aligned on GRCC's priority verticals, GRCC joined the regional West Michigan cohort, and we locked Block Party logistics. The recap and next steps are below.
GRCC's priority verticals for fall, in order:
- Healthcare, the top priority, with strong support from the Health Sciences dean and associate deans.
- Skilled trades and manufacturing, through M-TEC (automotive, welding, CNC, construction, medical assisting), including job-training-oriented roles.
- Events and hospitality, a fast, high-volume category (stadiums and event centers that need 30-plus students multiple times a week).
- Fast-turnaround work, for students who need to earn quickly, given GRCC's near-weekly emergency-funding referrals.
Healthcare and manufacturing overlap with GVSU's focus, which is why we coordinate outreach across the region.
Warm introductions: GRCC introduces us to your existing employer relationships and Stunio runs it from there. No outreach lift on your side unless you want to be involved. GRCC and GVSU (Troy Farley) will compare notes so the same employers are not approached twice. We will also confirm the process for approving employers on the platform.
GRCC is in. The regional cohort with Grand Valley, Calvin, and other area colleges meets on a recurring basis to share ideas and approach employers together, with Troy Farley (GVSU) championing it. First session: date TBD, healthcare-themed. GRCC will identify which deans to bring in.
The Lakeshore/Holland campus skews healthcare and has a welding lab, so outreach there centers on Holland-area healthcare employers and the trades, coordinated with your Lakeshore dean.
Confirmed. Saturday, August 22, 10am to 1pm. Stunio has been approved to attend GRCC's annual back-to-campus event, with a table next to GRCC's Career Center table. The student flyer is done and available above for your comms team to use, adapt, or replace as they like.
What we decided: GRCC's priority verticals are healthcare (first), skilled trades and manufacturing, events and hospitality, and fast-turnaround work. GRCC joined the West Michigan cohort, first session date TBD, healthcare-first. Block Party confirmed for August 22, with Stunio approved to attend and a table next to GRCC's Career Center table. Next steps: Stunio and GVSU (Troy) firm up the cohort cadence on July 24. GRCC identifies deans for the healthcare cohort session (Health, Workforce, STEM, Business). GRCC connects with Troy on employer-outreach overlap and the comms plan. Stunio and GRCC schedule the M-TEC Center visit and on-campus tabling once the semester starts. Next meeting: date TBD (cohort, healthcare). Biweekly cadence continues.
Background Checks
Useful to know given the healthcare focus.
Two options, configurable per job: a Yardstick basic national check (felonies and sex-offender, roughly 10 to 15 minutes) and a LARA fingerprint check for medical and education roles (more thorough, slower).
How Employers Pay
The simple answer to the cost question, for anyone on your team an employer asks.
Employers start at $0. There's no cost to create an account, post opportunities, or get started. They pay only when work actually happens: a service fee of 5% to 35% on the student's pay rate, which covers everything Stunio runs, including matching, scheduling, verification, same-day student payment, compliance, and support. Employers on a custom subscription see reduced service fees, typically 5% to 20%. Students always receive the full posted rate, with no posting fees, no recruiting fees, and no payroll to run.
Optional features are simple monthly add-ons. Employers who want additional features, such as remote job postings, micro-internships, or flexibly scheduled jobs, add them as monthly options. Depending on what features an employer elects to utilize, these typically run between $10 and $150 per month. Our team handles all pricing conversations so your team doesn't have to.
Enterprise subscriptions are always an in-depth conversation. Larger organizations, like health systems and large corporations, have different needs entirely (integrations, compliance, dedicated service, subscription plans that can include a reduced service fee) and work with us directly on the right setup. Either way, the ask for your team is the same: send them our way and we handle the conversation.
Pricing details are being finalized and will be posted here. Until then, send employers with cost questions directly to us and we'll handle it. Colleges and students never pay anything. That doesn't change.
The Path to Launch
No hard dates except where stated. We set the pace together.
Bring questions. Nothing here is finished until it works for your office.
We've aligned on GRCC's priority verticals: healthcare first, then skilled trades and manufacturing (M-TEC), events and hospitality, and fast-turnaround work. GRCC introduces us to existing employer relationships and Stunio handles all the outreach from there, including Holland-area employers for Lakeshore students.
GRCC has joined the regional work group with Grand Valley, Calvin, and the other area colleges: shared learnings, employer coordination, one region moving together. First session is healthcare-themed; date TBD.
Stunio is approved to attend GRCC's annual Block Party on August 22, with a table next to GRCC's Career Center table. The student flyer is done and ready to use as-is or rework.
Individual accounts for each team member with your real dashboard and data, plus marketing and student messaging sessions. Maria will reach out on customizing materials to GRCC's brand.
We set the date together. No pressure to have every employer or every student on day one. We take this at the pace that works.
What We Need From GRCC
When you're ready. None of this is homework with a deadline.
Just point them at us. That's the whole ask. Your team never manages employer relationships on Stunio. That's our job.
