Feeling unfulfilled at work? Wondering what comes next?

Delta Mu Delta has partnered with the career change experts at Mission Collaborative to bring you the Alumni Career Change Fellowship, a 30-day online program to help DMD alumni like you get the clarity and plan you need to find a fulfilling career that fits you.
Whether you're early, mid, or late career, the Fellowship will give you the structure and accountability you need to make the breakthrough progress you've been struggling to achieve on your own, while fitting into your busy schedule.

Pinpoint exactly what you want from your career and prioritize what matters most to you
Uncover your unique strengths
Identify your core strengths and transferable skills so your next career move will fit you better
Discover exciting options
Identify career paths that would be a better fit for you and learn how to test them before committing to one
Create an Action Plan
Implement a better process for making a career change, and be held accountable for making it happen
Who this is for
We've designed the Fellowship to help you figure out exactly what you want next from your career and develop a plan to get there, regardless of your age, background, or industry.
The Fellowship is perfect for you if you're:
-
Feeling bored, burned out, under-appreciated, or not using your strengths at work
-
Not excited about what comes next for your current career (a dead end or uninspiring promotion)
-
Transitioning to a new phase of life and want to reinvent your career
-
Curious about what else is out there that might fit you better than where you are now
Early Career

fit company
"This experience was more than well worth it, especially for busy professionals. You'll get superb resources, top-notch career ideas, and insight that will set you on a promising path towards your next career move."
Mid Career

"I had already wasted a ton of time trying to change careers on my own with no actual progress and a lot of fear. The Fellowship helped me understand what I want and how to get it, and the community is priceless."
Late Career

"The course platforms were easy to use, flexible, and whole program fit into my busy schedule. I even developed a detailed action plan that I used immediately to identify new career opportunities."

Is the Fellowship right for me?
We've designed the Fellowship to help you figure out exactly what you want next from your career and develop a plan to get there, regardless of your age, background, or industry.
-
You already know exactly what you want and just need help landing a job ASAP -
You want one-on-one industry expert coaching -
You want the answers handed to you and aren't willing to put in the hard work -
You aren't excited to spend some of your time helping your peers -
You're not able to commit to completing the assigned work (about 5 hours per week)
What do you mean by "career change"?
We're not just talking about changing from one career to something entirely unrelated and different; we're talking about making some sort of change to your career that brings you more fulfillment. For some people, success is finding a similar role in a new organization, and for others, success is starting over entirely in a new role, new organization, and new industry. We'll help you figure out what's best for you!
How much time will this take?
We've designed the Fellowship to be about five hours of work per week (mostly on your own schedule, except for the Team calls, which are 1.5 hours weekly). Participants get the best results when they keep up with the suggested deadlines and attend all of the weekly Team video calls.
What technology do I need to participate?
All you need is a computer with a webcam (tablets won't work!), reliable wifi, and a Google account. We'll be using a program called Teachable for the program curriculum, a tool called Slack for our community discussion forum, Google Hangouts for our video calls, and Google Docs for our assignments.
What if I have to miss one or more of the Team video calls?
Refund Policy and Money Back Guarantee
Your are eligible for a full refund up until 7 days before the Fellowship begins. After that, we cannot provide a refund, but we can transfer your enrollment to a later date up until two weeks into the Fellowship.
If you are still feeling totally lost after the Fellowship, we'll provide 1-on-1 coaching to help you figure out exactly what to do differently. If you’re following what we suggest and it’s still not working, we will give you your money back.
