What is an Opportunity Guide?

An Opportunity Guide (OG) is a professional with over ten years of industry experience who provides information and strategies for building meaningful career connections. OGs commit to spending just 15 minutes a quarter to share advice, insights, and practical strategies to help job seekers ages 18-65 build professional social capital through our Social Capital Smart AI coaching platform. Through this initiative, OGs equip job seekers with the tools they need to navigate the hidden job market, establish impactful networks, and pursue professional opportunities that often remain out of reach.

Additionally, you’ll have opportunities to connect directly with graduates during our virtual “Career Connections Spotlight” sessions, where you can share your journey, provide real-time feedback, and inspire the next generation of professionals.
