Discipline-Specific & Outcome Focused
Our curricula are custom-designed for each academic field’s unique nuances, with structured learning paths that guide students from academic identity to high-impact industry careers.
Built for Scale & Integration
Plug-and-play modules that integrate seamlessly into existing learning management systems, reaching every student—including those who never attend workshops. Department-integrated approach ensures consistent career support across all programs.
Stigma-Free & Engaging
Created by PhDs who made the leap themselves, with language and pacing that meets students exactly where they are. Asynchronous, self-paced design removes barriers and stigma around career exploration. Added plus: it’s not boring.

Obtaining a tenure-track position is like qualifying for the Olympics—technically possible, but very rare. PhDs can no longer count on this as a realistic outcome.
We provide the structured, tailored curriculum that prepares PhDs for where they’re actually headed: thriving industry careers.

Start early. Our modules integrate into PhD programs early on, so students graduate job-ready, not job-hunting.

Our comprehensive curriculum provides the framework, tools, and exercises to ensure candidates are showcasing their PhD value in industry language—all tailored to their specific field and career aspirations.

We’ve built interactive, self-paced eLearning that’s stigma-free and tailored by PhDs who’ve successfully transitioned to executive roles—discipline-specific and ready to use.
