ReadyMinds offers a customized distance career counseling program, utilizing telecounseling and online interaction that was developed by a multidisciplinary team of experienced practitioners. It combines the best practices from around the country, integrating them with technology and a flexible delivery system to give individuals and institutions the resources they need.

The ReadyMinds Programs are specifically designed to complement the existing services currently offered at your career center.

Testimonials…..

"ReadyMinds has provided a platform that fits perfectly with our current services. We welcome the addition of the nationally acclaimed organization to augment our department and allow for personalized delivery."

-Sandra Kirkland
Director of Student Services
University of Richmond

"ReadyMinds' ability to provide distance career counseling services was an obvious choice for UI&U as we looked to provide career counseling assistance to our learners. ReadyMinds' innovative use of telecounseling and online interaction that helps individuals make informed educational and occupational decisions, matches our model and our goals, as well as the goals of our learners as they prepare for and choose their careers and achieve greater fulfillment and success."

-Dr. Richard Hansen
Provost & Vice President
Union Institute & University

“As a former Career Services Director, I experienced the many benefits of bringing the ReadyMinds Program to my office. Graduate students and alumni who needed career counseling services including assessment, exploration, decision-making and self-marketing assistance were able to access these services from home, office, or school seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. The ReadyMinds Program offers convenience and flexibility that the classic Career Center cannot provide. Most importantly, by utilizing the services offered by ReadyMinds, your office can reach students who might not have the accessibility to the career center. From a financial perspective, the cost of the program saved my office and the University thousands of dollars.”

"UMUC is committed to providing its students and alumni high-quality career services that expertly utilize the Web and are available whenever and wherever UMUC's students need them. Our non-traditional student population was not adequately served with place-bound career counseling and the ReadyMinds model permits us to expand and develop our vision of offering online career counseling."

-Kim Kelley
Associate Provost
University of Maryland - University College

"Manhattanville students took part in the ReadyMinds Program. Much to my delight, the program far exceeded expectations and the students were entirely enthusiastic about the experience. The ReadyMinds Counselors make a concerted effort to reach the students and create a good connection - even on the telephone. The process provided the students with positive reinforcement. Their skills were recognized and there were suggestions for improving weaknesses. They were provided concrete suggestions for continued study and encouraged to visit their college career center for follow up. As a professional career counselor for 25 years and a college administrator for 11, I am pleased to endorse this program."
