Career Storybook provides support, community, educational programs, and resources. We help individuals discover and find careers aligned with their strengths, interests, and values. To the degree that you can match your strengths and interests with current and emerging opportunities, you will be successful. And to the degree that you are in alignment with your strengths and values, you will be happy and successful.
Career Storybook serves the recently unemployed, the underemployed, career changers, and entrepreneurs. We offer programs for early- and mid-career and retirees. We help you with job readiness, interview preparation, and support for finding and securing opportunities. In addition, we help you succeed once you get a job with organizational success and soft skills programs.
We work with schools and school counselors to offer our programs to young adults. Contact us to discuss programs for your school.
