Choosing your next move
Look at the roles that fit your experience and the direction you want to take, then decide where to put your effort.
Upskilling · 8 weeks
The Career Transitions Bootcamp
Changing direction takes more than sending another application. Over eight weeks, this programme helps mid-career professionals understand what they can offer, decide where to focus and pursue roles with greater care.
You will work with career coaches and peers on the parts of a search that often get done alone: making sense of your experience, choosing opportunities, writing applications and preparing for interviews.
About the bootcamp
Give your search a direction
A long search can make it hard to tell what is working. You may have valuable experience and still struggle to explain how it fits a new role or industry.
Start with what you know
The bootcamp gives you time to examine that experience, name the work you want next and build a search around the opportunities that fit.
What you will work on
Career coaches, group discussions and course materials help you practise the parts of a search that deserve deliberate attention:
- Writing applications grounded in the role and your experience
- Managing a search without applying indiscriminately
- Preparing for interviews and assessments
