Steppingblocks at Clemson

All Clemson students, faculty, and staff have access to Steppingblocks products that provide rich information on post-graduation outcomes based on alumni data.

Steppingblocks sources education, employment, firmographic, and demographic data from hundreds of public sources. These comprehensive data are subjected to multiple methodologies and algorithms (e.g., NLP, AI, ML) that validate, deduplicate, normalize, and structure them in standardized classification schema to yield robust longitudinal insights on alumni at every accredited post-secondary institution in the US at both aggregate and individual levels.

These data, which cover over 135 million individuals in the US workforce, contain a wealth of information regarding alumni employers, industries, job positions, compensation, locations, skills, industry trends, and more. Steppingblocks dashboards are fast and user-friendly.
