Career Planning Resources for Alumni
Career Vision Alumni Network: Partners for
Life
 People
who work with Career Vision know they have a great resource
and access to career support for life. Your work profile,
as developed through participation in one of our Advantage
Packages, offers real value and applicability throughout
your life. It also makes you eligible to access our supplemental
career services.
Our staff of
professionals is an informed, reliable resource for your career
development efforts at every stage of life. Whether you are
no longer satisfied with your current situation, considering
going back to school or evaluating several exciting options,
our goal is to help you achieve a satisfying and successful
career.
Clients* return for guidance in situations involving work,
education, or retirement and when they value a trained, objective
partner to help them evaluate, choose and plan a strategy.
Their reasons are as varied as the individuals. The following
are some of the more common reasons to schedule a meeting
with a Career Vision consultant, in person or by phone:
- Add variety and challenge
to your current job with new responsibilities or projects.
- Identify and evaluate
options for additional education and training.
- Expand and investigate
career options.
- Improve your focus
when making a decision.
- Increase adjustment
of self, job and work environment.
- Prepare for a promotion
or a lateral move in your organization.
- Change jobs or career
fields, either by choice or as a result of decreasing opportunities.
- Reduce workload due
to personal commitments, balance issues or phasing into
retirement.
- Evaluate a job opportunity
such as a new position, a relocation, a move to management
or a new project or team responsibility.
- Prepare for a career
discussion with a manager.
Our alumni services are based on best practices and tailored
to meet your ongoing career concerns. Additionally, your story
and successes will help future generations as they become
part of our longitudinal studies on career issues in the 21st
Century.
*Career Vision only works with alumni who have established
a relationship with us by participating in one of our Assessment
Packages. Alumni have lifelong access to career support and
consulting services, in person or by phone, based on an hourly
rate.
