Case Study - Corvias Foundation
THE CHALLENGE
According to a recent Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC) survey, “97 percent of school professionals reported believing military-connected students experienced more stress and challenges than their civilian peers.”*
This private foundation understands that military-connected scholars are supported to and through college, but do not always have the access, opportunities and resources to navigate early careers and make decisions that will positively support their economic futures.
THE SOLUTION
The Corvias Foundation partnered with Reimagine Talent Co. to deliver dynamic career development programs designed to equip students in military families with the tools, insights and education to become career-ready.
THE TRANSFORMATION
Students who participated in this career jumpstart program walked away feeling more confident to manage early careers because they had been equipped with the education, network and confidence to excel in the face of adversity.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT OUR WORK TOGETHER
"As a scholarship organization, we know that simply graduating our scholars is not sufficient, and we need to offer resources to help our scholars in their transition from the higher ed environment to the professional world. Until we met th[is] team, we had been unable to fill that need. [Reimagine Talent Co.] develops individualized plans to support our graduates in their career & personal development, asking the important questions and investigating the unconsidered paths.
After working with [Reimagine Talent Co.], our scholars feel supported by a growing network and empowered by their own dreams. Several of our scholars even landed job opportunities amid COVID-19.”
