The C2C Ready Career Prep Bootcamp provides students individually customized, online teaching and coaching from a career development expert over a 3 month period.
We offer much-needed structure for the strong career preparation that students need and that colleges do not provide.
Our service is like individual fitness training and coaching but for career preparation and career launch readiness.
We strongly recommend that students begin their career preparation efforts (and ideally our training and coaching) in their second or third semester in college.
