Next Chapter Careers | 3-Month Workshop Series


Feeling lost or anxious about your career in this AI-driven world is completely normal.

In today’s world of AGI, agentic AI workflows, and robotic automation, careers are evolving at an unprecedented pace. What worked yesterday can become obsolete tomorrow.

Trial-and-error is no longer a viable career strategy.

The speed of change is too great, and the cost of repeated setbacks is too high. One layoff, one missed transition, or one prolonged job search can create a downward spiral — while your peers continue moving forward.

Career management has become a codified discipline — one that requires clarity, strategy, and support. You can no longer afford to sit in the bleachers watching your career unfold. You must step into the arena with intention.

That’s why we created Next Chapter Careers — a practical 3-month workshop series designed to support those who need it most right now:

  • Professionals navigating life after a layoff
  • Recent graduates struggling to land their first role
  • Mid-career individuals facing transitions in the age of AI
