24. Navigating Returnships: Exploring Returner Programs with Guest Gabrielle Ferguson

Her Next Chapters

If your next chapter includes landing a job you love after a career break, you'll want to listen to today's episode. An excellent way to get your career back on track is through a returnship. These are like internships, but are created for people with mid-level career experience rather than entry-level, and typically require at least a 2-year career break.
If you are curious about returnships, also known as returner programs, you are in for a treat. I've invited Gabrielle Ferguson back to the podcast to share her insider knowledge about how returner programs benefit both the returner and the employer. Gabrielle established a successful returner program for her previous employer and shares her advice on how to wow the hiring team in your application and interviews in these highly competitive programs.
This will be a 2-part series, with the next episode highlighting what to expect on the job as a career returner in these programs.
