University of Delaware Professional and Continuing Studies Selects Careerminds
as Provider of Career Transition Program
WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- 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."
