Career Planning Resources for Alumni

Career Vision Alumni Network: Partners for Life

Career Planning for StudentsPeople 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.
