Welcome to the Business Edge Portal

What is the Business Edge Portal?

The Business Edge Portal is Alpha Kappa Psi’s improved member website designed as a global community for all AKPsi members, partners, and donors. It is easy to use and full of helpful tools. You can use it to learn new in-demand skills, to manage critical chapter operations, and to stay in touch with other members.

The Alpha Kappa Psi Foundation and the Commonwealth Leadership® Alliance collaborated to create the new portal. Together, our community creates opportunities for everyone to become better leaders and to have personal and professional success.

What is Business Edge?

Business Edge is the brand of business leadership and career development resources developed by the Commonwealth Leadership® Alliance.

A shared commitment unites Alpha Kappa Psi and the Commonwealth Leadership® Alliance: to equip leaders with the tools, connections, and insights needed to thrive. Together, we expand the reach and relevance of professional development and bring together a global community of people, ideas, and opportunities.

The Business Edge brand reflects our collective mission: to develop principled business leaders. “Edge” signals competitive advantage, growth, and the forward momentum our members gain through lifelong connection, resources, and engagement. Business Edge resources include:

  • The Certificate Program, an assessment-based certificate program, which builds capacity and recognition of principled business leadership skills
  • The Accelerate Program, virtual sessions providing insights on industry hiring trends and career transitions
  • The Business Edge Newsletter, a weekly curation of business and leadership news tailored to your interests
  • The Business Edge Podcast, conversations with Alpha Kappa Psi alumni and friends sharing their personal and professional development stories
  • The Business Edge Blog, articles with mini lessons for in-demand skills
  • And now, the Business Edge Portal

Business Edge is built for students, alumni, and volunteers. It gives you tools to grow no matter where you are on your journey.

How does Business Edge align with AKPsi values?

Business Edge brings our values to life digitally. It embodies lifelong learning, integrity in action, and the unity of a global brotherhood while giving members tools to lead with confidence. Commonwealth Leadership® developed Business Edge with these values in mind.

The Commonwealth Leadership® Alliance was created in 2015 by Alpha Kappa Psi. At that time, the AKPsi Board of Directors assembled a group of alumni business leaders to research workplace skills and competencies.

The group was charged with developing a list of professional practices and soft skills most valued in the workplace. (This list later became the “Core Six™.”) This group compiled data from employer surveys and developed a model for leadership development for aspiring business professionals.

The group first met in Richmond, Virginia, in the winter of 2016. It was originally established as the Alpha Kappa Psi Educational Corporation and later renamed to the Commonwealth Leadership® Alliance.

The Business Edge Portal is here to help you learn, lead, and grow. It is more than a website. It is your launchpad for success.

AKPsi Partners with Epic Hire to Elevate Professional Opportunities for Members

Posted On February 13, 2025 By akpsi In Admin, Corporate Partnerships /  

Alpha Kappa Psi is proud to announce an official partnership with Epic Hire, a cutting-edge digital résumé platform designed to help students showcase their skills, experiences, and career aspirations in a more dynamic and engaging way. This collaboration, which launched in January 2025, will provide our student members across the country with an innovative tool to enhance their job search and professional visibility.

Revolutionizing the Résumé Book for AKPsi Members

For decades, résumé books have served as a valuable resource for professional organizations and corporate sponsors looking to connect with top talent. However, the traditional format, static PDFs filled with black-and-white text, often lacks the engagement and depth necessary to truly showcase candidates beyond their bullet points.

That’s where Epic Hire comes in. Their digital résumé books transform how students present themselves to potential employers by incorporating:

✅ Interactive Profiles – Members can highlight their experiences with photos, captions, and multimedia elements.
✅ Badges & Achievements – Showcasing leadership roles, certifications, and unique skills in a visually appealing way.
✅ Career Interests & Goals – Providing recruiters with a deeper understanding of what each candidate is looking for in their next opportunity.

Through this partnership, AKPsi chapters have access to Epic Hire’s digital résumé book platform, allowing members to create dynamic profiles that capture their full potential. Employers and corporate sponsors will now be able to engage with AKPsi talent in a way that’s more personal, efficient, and impactful.

Strengthening Corporate Partnerships & Career Opportunities

Beyond enhancing our members’ job-seeking experience, this partnership also opens doors for stronger corporate relationships. Since launching the collaboration, AKPsi has already secured sponsorships with major companies such as Compass Group, Insight Global, and Foundation Risk Partners.

These partnerships not only bring exclusive opportunities to members but also reinforce AKPsi’s vision of being the premier developer of principled business leaders through meaningful professional connections. By leveraging Epic Hire’s platform, AKPsi is ensuring members stand out in today’s competitive job market.

How to Get Started

AKPsi members can now sign up for Epic Hire and begin building their digital profiles. If you’re ready to take your professional presence to the next level, join Epic Hire here.
