SOCIAL CAPITAL STRATEGY & TRAINING

Our team of experienced workforce experts partners with you to create a tailored social capital strategy and training plan.

Through a combination of onsite workshops and remote sessions, we will:

 

  • Assess your existing initiatives in job search support, communications training, and alumni engagement.

  • Facilitate a “buy-in” and “taste-of” onsite workshop for staff and early adopter faculty. 

  • Identify pilot cohort(s) of learners, staff, and/or faculty.

  • Review and customize the social capital training curriculum. 

  • “Train-your-trainers” on the curriculum.

  • Collect and assess pilot data to craft a broader roll-out plan.

Our Service #2
To support learners, we offer an online, self-paced course and Goldi - a highly empathetic AI coach.

The fourteen-module online course takes 7-10 hours to complete, featuring real-life videos of alumni as guides. The course can be embedded in your institution’s LMS or run on Climb Together’s LMS. All learners receive a certificate of completion after completing a “ready to go” assessment.

The AI coach doesn’t just prepare learners—it actively guides them through realistic, voice-based role-playing to ensure they’re ready to connect meaningfully in real-world interactions, fostering stronger networks and unlocking new opportunities. Goldi is actively teaching the learners and giving them feedback simultaneously. Goldi also helps learners find alumni on LinkedIn and crafts personalized notes to get strong responses.

Alumni Engagement Flywheel

Climb Together can help you to identify, recruit and engage employed alumni as “connectors” for job-seeking learners.

Whether you already have an established alumni program or are just starting out, we partner with you to:

  • Identify and recruit alumni to engage with learners through informational interviews and other relationship building activities.

  • Help jobseekers develop the skills to reach out on LinkedIn to alumni and ask for introductory conversations. 

  • Train alumni  on a condensed version of the Social Capital curriculum, either synchronously or using the online course and practice bot. 

  • Help to develop intentional relationship building opportunities with pre-existing alumni activities and events. 

  • Track longer term outcomes over 24 months such as ongoing touchpoints and interactions, referrals made and jobs or internships offered.  

SOCIAL CAPITAL CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

Our online or in person curriculum offers fourteen modules and assessments. The content and practice work takes 7-10 hours to complete. 

Learners can master important concepts at their own pace including how to:

 

  • Understand the importance of social capital.

  • Craft a professional narrative to engage authentically.

  • Reframe past challenges as opportunities.

  • Learn how to do targeted and hyper personalized outreach, leveraging LinkedIn and alumni of your institution.

  • Craft personalized and very thoughtful intro notes on LinkedIn that stand out amongst the crowd of cold notes.
