About Chapter Next   ___

We understand that taking a career break to care for family can be a rewarding but challenging experience. That's why we're proud to offer Chapter Next, a program designed to support experienced professionals as they re-enter the workforce after taking a career break of one or more years.

Chapter Next provides a unique opportunity for individuals to re-engage with their careers and gain the fundamental resources needed to be effective in their next career chapter. The program is tailored to meet the individual needs of each participant, and includes a combination of training, mentoring, and networking opportunities.

Our goal is to help experienced professionals gain the confidence and skills they need to take the next step in their careers, and potentially prepare them for a full-time position with us. We value the diverse perspectives and experiences that our employees bring to our workforce, and we're committed to supporting you as you launch your next career chapter.
