You're smart, ambitious, and ready to launch your career. But you need support in writing a resume that gets past AI filters, acing a behavioral interview, or succeeding in your job once you land it.
Small-group coaching, with up to 8 students, so you build real skills and a community of peers on the same journey.


Starting a career is full of firsts: your first job search, your first interview, your first manager, your first review. Most of it isn't taught in a classroom.
Research shows that coaching has significant positive effects on goal attainment, work behavior, attitudes, and personal characteristics such as confidence and resilience. Those are the things that carry you through a job search and your first years at work: performing under pressure, handling stress, adapting to a new workplace, and staying focused on where you're headed.
In Althea's experience, the students who start early carry the confidence, clarity, and professional skills into every role that follows.
You don't need to have it all figured out to begin. You just need someone in your corner. Choose the package that fits where you are.
