Alumni Coach Referral Program

Seeking support for your career, leadership, or professional needs?

This is the program for you! We have partnered with Bishops who own independent coaching practices and are excited to support the OWU community! Coaches offer one free Discovery Session and a 15% discount on their services to OWU Alumni, Staff, and Faculty. Fees will vary.

Please note that we will receive a list of who our coaches meet with, and all other details will remain confidential. All outcomes of the coaching are between the coach and client, and are not that of OWU Career Connection and Alumni Engagement & Success.

See FAQs below:

Career Connection: If you are within your first 5 years post-graduation or are needing quick help (e.g. interview preparation, resume review, an introductory exploratory meeting) Career Connection can support you! Please email careers@owu.edu or a specific Career Catalyst to set up a meeting.

Alumni Coach: If you are past 5 years post-graduation and/or wanting more in-depth and consistent support, then working with an Alumni Coach is the best step forward! These individuals have the bandwidth to work with you on a more regular basis, and they provide specialized programs and services that may better meet your needs.

*Please note that our Career Connection team is happy to make an introduction or a referral as to who we think may be the best fit!

We continue to add new coaches to our program who have a wealth of services and tools at their disposal.

Main areas of support are:

  • Career Exploration / Career Transition
  • Resume, Cover Letter & Statement Review
  • Interview Preparation
  • Leadership
  • Finances
  • And More!
