The Career Design Blueprint™
Workshop Series

Build a career ecosystem that works.

Career preparation spans people, programs, priorities, and structures across your organization. The challenge is designing them to work together.

This interactive two-part workshop series gives you a practical framework for examining your career ecosystem, identifying what may be getting in the way, and making more intentional decisions about how to move forward.

You’ll learn The Career Design Blueprint™, apply it to your own organization, complete The Career Design Blueprint™ Scorecard, and receive a 60-minute Strategy Session to interpret your results and identify where to focus next.

Designed for:

Career services leaders, provosts, vice presidents, presidents, and campus teams.

More than a Workshop. Learn it. Apply it. Put it to Work.

Two interactive workshops
Learn the six dimensions of The Career Design Blueprint™, see how they show up in practice, and work through real examples and hands-on exercises that help you apply the framework to your own organization.

The Career Design Blueprint™ Scorecard
Put the framework to work with a comprehensive diagnostic that reveals strengths, gaps, and the design conditions that may be limiting progress.

A 60-minute Private Blueprint Strategy Session
Go beyond the scores with expert interpretation of your results. Together, we’ll:

Identify what’s really driving your results
Pinpoint where you have the greatest leverage
Surface connections and root causes the scores alone can’t reveal
Pressure-test priorities, assumptions, and potential solutions
Clarify what deserves your attention next

You’ll leave with more than a framework or a report. You’ll have a clearer view of how your career ecosystem is working, what may be holding it back, and where to focus to make meaningful progress.

Workshop Participant

★★★★★

“We’ve talked about systems, but we hadn’t seen the thought process through a framework. Being able to visualize it and think about each area was really helpful.”
