Clarity: Figure out what you really want from your career and what direction to go next

  The Career Design Fellowship was just what I needed to gain clarity and direction for the next chapter of my career. I loved the coursework, sense of community, and external accountability I felt over the past four weeks. I now feel hopeful and optimistic in my career journey.    - Lisa (journalism)

Plan: Use our Design Thinking inspired process to make an effective plan for your next career move

 This program is a great way to create some structure around a career step up or pivot. It provides a nice framework and really usable tools to engage with and come away with some clear steps toward your ideal career.     - Elena (nonprofit management)

 The Fellowship provided excellent tools to help identify and define the significant skills I've developed over my career. For me, that was a key component of defining potential next steps.  - John (natural resources)

Confidence: Own your unique value and boldly pursue the rewarding career you deserve

 The fellowship helped me understand not only where I am now, but where I want to be and on what timescale. I am so impatient for change and also fearful of it, but having the opportunity to slow down and reflect deeply on my goals and myself is allowing me to be steady, deliberate, and patient about my goals.      - Kelsi (music performance)
