Rutgers University Selects Careerminds as Exclusive Provider of Career
Transition Services



WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Careerminds Group, Inc., a national
consulting company specializing in web-based outplacement and career
transition services, is pleased to announce a partnership with Rutgers, The
State University of New Jersey's Institute for Management and Executive
Development (IMED) to be the exclusive provider of career transition services.

The Camden, N.J.-based Rutgers University Institute is a leading provider of
business training, executive and professional development programs in the
Northeast region. Through grant-based funding, IMED provides the unemployed
residents of N.J. access to a number of non-credit career development
certification programs.

"It's a great partnership," said Associate Dean and Director Ray Compari.
"Careerminds delivers exactly what we need to significantly help our sponsored
job seekers improve their marketability and visibility in today's competitive
market." Careerminds will deliver its online MyBrand career transition program
to the hundreds of out-of-work individuals that Rutgers IMED sponsors each
year. 

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 are excited to be the exclusive provider for Rutgers IMED," said
Careerminds CEO Raymond Lee. "Its forward-thinking reputation and commitment
to excellence is an ideal backdrop for the MyBrand program. Our unique service
is designed to make a real difference in the lives of talented individuals who
are frustrated by the traditional job search process."
