Careerminds Group, Inc., a national consulting company specializing in web-based outplacement and career transition services is pleased to announce a partnership with University of Delaware’s Division of Professional and Continuing Studies to be a provider of the MyBrand career transition program.
Through Professional and Continuing Studies, the University provides certificate programs, continuing professional education, and customized learning solutions, as well as evening, part-time and online degrees for returning adults and other non-traditional students. Professional and Continuing Studies is now offering Careerminds’ MyBrand career transition program to its current and past students and to residents in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland seeking new career opportunities.
“It’s a great strategic partnership,” said Academic and Professional Programs Director Dayle Thorpe. “Careerminds’ three-month program is exactly what our adult students need as they prepare to re-enter the workforce. We had been considering a number of solutions to address the growing need of assisting our students after they finish a program. Careerminds was the clear choice in helping us reach our goals while providing an innovative approach to the career transition process.”
MyBrand is a consumer-based career transition program that allows participants to access effective content, tools, and resources in an on-demand manner. It uses a proven, scientifically-based foundation that shapes the individual into a focused, highly differentiated ‘brand’ that stands out among the crowd of job seekers. The company developed the program and its proprietary Web 2.0, software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform as a way to help the millions of unemployed workers in North America get back to work quickly and affordably.
“We’re honored to be connected to the University of Delaware,” said Careerminds Partner Justin Schakelman. “The University’s prominence means we are able to reach a significant number of job seekers with MyBrand. Most importantly, we’re able to make a real difference in the lives of those participants with a service that delivers real value.”
