In the business world, modern organizations conduct corporate retreats on a regular basis to consider their strategic direction, review progress, and set up goals and objectives for the year. In this course you will use the same approach to organize, strategize, re-energize, and re-invigorate your career building activities. The final Capstone Project is designed as an annual retreat aimed at facilitating your ability to step back from day-to-day demands and strategically focus on gaining a competitive edge on the job market by investigating new opportunities for career growth, conducting a thorough audit of your skill-building and self-marketing strategies, and developing new ways to enhance and showcase your marketable skills. The Capstone Project will allow you to integrate concepts and tools from the entire Career Brand Management specialization to effectively manage your career brand and increase personal effectiveness.

The annual retreat is almost over, but there are some outstanding learning activities to complete. One lecture called "So what?" provides guidance for self-reflection. Another lecture will introduce field experiences for the next year ("homework"). We will ask you to plan ahead your career branding activities and prepare a brief report as the fourth (and final) assignment in this course. In the end please take a few minutes to complete the end-of-the-course survey. There is also a bonus exercise; you may find it useful to share your unique career branding experiences with other learners and us by recording a brief video (see instructions in the "How to Contribute" video). Finally, we are planning to arrange a live round table to answer your questions. Your instructors are Amy Giaculli and Professor Val Chukhlomin joined by guest lecturer Dr. Michele Forte.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
