“I felt unfocused and discouraged trying to apply for a new job. After taking the Career Design Program through Mission Collaborative, I am confident in what I want out of my next position and have intention in my career path. This feels so energizing and I am so grateful to the Mission Collaborative Team!” – St. Thomas Alumni Participant

“The fellowship helped me really dive deep into my strengths, interests, and dislikes when it comes to my current career and future career path. I formed great relationships with my teammates and felt very validated that I’m not alone in my career switch journey!” – St. Thomas Alumni participant

“After a year of trying to decipher on my own what my next career steps should be, I signed up for The Career Design Program. In four short weeks, the Program boosted me past the doom-scroll of job postings into a deeper understanding of what I need, want, and would like to have in my next job. As someone who is successful in their mid-career role, but ready to try something new, this program has helped me find authentic connections with other like-minded people, given me direction for next steps to take, and encouraged me to delve deep into what I believe about myself and my abilities. 10/10 would recommend.” – St. Thomas Alumni participant
