Be the leading institution to close the gap between education and employment for your students!
AS FEATURED IN
Community colleges are at the center of every local economy. We depend on these institutions to equip students with the technical and career skills needed to meet the demands of the market.
However…
…if community colleges continue to leave a gap between education and employment by not teaching the career development skills students need to gain employment, then they will continue to see a decline in student enrollment and completion rates.
It's time for a change.
The Career Optimization & Readiness Execution (CORE) Program is an accelerator that will make your students deployable, marketable, and attractive to employers.
Teaching students how to deploy their knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) in the market is often the gap colleges leave between education and employment.
If you want to set your institution apart by offering a unique program that will increase student enrollment rates and decrease student dropout rates, then CORE is the perfect addition to your curriculum.
Our framework to help students succeed is simple:
Building the right skills to develop, advance, and sustain a career is at the foundation of an ever-evolving career journey.
Students will learn the technical and career skills to pursue opportunities and how to market themselves to secure offers.
Connecting with people and building a network of peers is still the number one job search strategy.
Students will learn how to connect, build, and leverage their relationships with people to identify and attract opportunities.
Monetizing opportunities to earn what your skills commensurate in the marketplace takes skill.
Students will learn how to create professional assets using strategies that attract recruiters of their ideal companies and leverage career skills to secure top offers.
The more valuable your students, the more attractive your institution is to employers, recruiters, and businesses.
The CORE accelerator teaches career skills that are universal and applicable to all industries and degree programs. This means your institution can market this accelerator to attract new and existing student populations. It’s the gap between education and employment that most educational providers are missing.
Career skill courses listed below can be adopted, tailored, and integrated with your curriculum:
This course will uncover the "hidden job market" and expose students to a fail-proof method to achieve their career goals that incorporates planning, strategy, and most importantly thinking like a recruiter.
This resume writing class will give students methodical approaches to constructing a tailored resume that focuses on proving their fit for any role they pursue.
This class teaches all aspects of the interview lifecycle, including preparing, presenting, and post-interview follow up. It's a comprehensive course that will build confidence.
This course will appeal to students since LinkedIn is the number one platform for professionals and over 3 million opportunities are posted monthly. Students will learn how to create attractive profiles and utilize LinkedIn features to strategically show up in front of recruiters.
This class will show students how to build and nurture a network of peers and professionals to tap into for opportunities. Utilizing relationships is still the best job search strategy.
The Core Accelerator is the first generation course group designed to propel students into a thriving career. Add-on courses to build KSAs and advance career skills are also available.

How does a 9th grade high school dropout build a lucrative career as a Business, IT, & Career Consultant? Community College!
From a GED all the way through to the college transfer program, community college gave me a second chance at a building my career.
Hello and welcome,
I’m Kori Beard, Business, IT & Career Consultant.
My goal is to help people like me reach their full potential and build purpose driven careers through community college resources.
I understand the challenges these institutions face in providing programs that keep up with the skill demands of a constantly changing society.
This is why I've created career skill programs community colleges can adopt to teach students valuable skills that will make them successful in pursuit of their career goals.
These programs will be a game changer for your institution!

Choose an option and decide how best to move forward, incrementally, one step at a time. Let institutional change happen because of a response and not because of a reaction dictated by a crisis.
I believe that community colleges are at the heart of every local economy, providing education and training to all members of society, not just traditional students.
Local businesses rely on community college training programs to equip adult learners, high school dropouts, and other unique student populations to fill their vacancies quickly.
