What Your Alumni Experience

The Career Design + Launch Program gives alumni 30 days of structured, peer-based work alongside a diverse cohort, then a self-paced phase to act on what they discover.

Career Design

30 days

Alumni move through four phases:
✓ Reflection
✓ Definition
✓ Research
✓ Testing

They do so alongside a small peer cohort and an assigned accountability partner.

Weekly working sessions and 1:1 calls keep momentum high. 7–9 hours per week.

Launch

Self-paced

When alumni are ready to move, Launch provides:

✓ Tools for resume and narrative strategy
✓ LinkedIn positioning
✓ Interview preparation
✓ Networking
✓ Negotiation
✓ A structured action plan

Whether pursuing a new role, an internal shift, or a longer-term plan, the tools apply.

The Peer Cohort Difference

The peer cohort is the program’s most distinctive feature. Cohorts intentionally include alumni from different industries and fields. That cross-industry diversity is the mechanism: alumni discover options they could not have seen from inside their own career history.

What Participants Say

"Before the program I would never have imagined that the skills I have could be applied and leveraged into so many other careers. I felt so limited having spent my entire career as a teacher and now I feel like I can be successful in so many different businesses. The support from my cohort and accountability partner was invaluable."

Alumni Participant, University of Virginia

"Perhaps the greatest benefit is that it connects you with others who are experiencing something similar to what you're going through, career-wise. You gain feedback from multiple vantage points, and the process of supporting others ends up being generative to you in return. The collaboration turned out to be the most meaningful facet of the entire program."

Alumni Participant, William & Mary

"This Program was extremely useful in providing me the process on how to map out my career path. It will be my toolbox or template going forward on any career endeavors I may want to pursue."

Alumni Participant, MIT

Outcomes Your Team Can Report On

After every cohort, your team receives the PACT Report — an interactive dashboard built for your institution. Participation demographics, satisfaction scores, engagement and giving propensity data, marketing performance analytics, and season-over-season trend comparisons. Everything you need to demonstrate program value to leadership.

PACT stands for Partner Alignment, Collaboration and Transformation — a reflection of how we approach every institutional partnership.
