Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

Most career changes fail not from lack of talent but from lack of a system. This course gives you the exact frameworks used by career coaches — from the Strong Interest Inventory and O*NET skills mapping to informational-interview scripts and offer negotiation — so you can move deliberately rather than reactively. You will leave with a personalised pivot map, a prioritised skills list, and a week-by-week plan ready to execute.
