Alumni Partnership Initiative 2007

Alumni associations affiliated with institutions of higher education across the country share the important dual mission of assisting alumni in successfully advancing their education and careers AND promoting active membership in their organization. As a large percentage of alumni relocate from the immediate geographic area of their college or university after graduation, using the on-campus Career Center to effectively meet career development needs is often not plausible.

ReadyMinds is an innovative, comprehensive, and highly effective provider of professional distance career counseling programs. We partner with institutions of higher learning, government and business organizations, and community agencies across the country to supplement and augment existing career services with our distance-based career counseling programs (or to develop and provide entirely new online career services as appropriate). All services are provided via telephone, e-mail, and private, secure message board, maintaining a sense of privacy, confidentiality, and convenience for all involved. The undeniable ease of use and comprehensiveness of the services provided, coupled with the professionalism and proven track record of ReadyMinds, make partnering with ReadyMinds very desirable.

Benefits for Your Alumni Association
A partnership with ReadyMinds offers multiple benefits to your Alumni Association, to each participating alumnus, and to the institution as a whole. All alumni who participate with ReadyMinds will have the clear and distinct benefit of professional involvement with a professionally trained, National Certified (NCC) and Credentialed career counselor assisting them in achieving their individual career goals. As a result of positive experiences in this context, alumni are likely to feel a stronger connection to their Alma matter and to become more involved in other programs offered by your Alumni Association. On a long-term scale, this satisfaction and increased involvement is likely to result in more generous financial giving to the institution.

The My ReadyMinds Personal Web Page may be utilized as a resource for dissemination of information to alumni. At your discretion, detailed information pertaining to services available to alumni may be posted in this location, in addition to news and notes regarding their Alma matter. A ReadyMinds discounted service offering may be made available ONLY to dues paying Alumni Association members as a benefit of membership, much like other services and discounts currently offered to members.
