Students
"As a recent college graduate, I wasn't sure how to turn ambition into an actual career path. In the Career Blueprint Co. program both Tom and Chris helped me clarify my goals, build real confidence, and take practical steps toward the business career I want. I'd recommend them to any young professional who needs more than a pep talk; they give you a plan and show you how to successfully implement it."
— Allison Bovitz, Recent Graduate from Western Michigan University
"Taking The Career Blueprint program was one of the most valuable experiences I've had during college. Through the CliftonStrengths assessment, I discovered my top five strengths and, more importantly, learned how to use them to my advantage in interviews, networking, and my professional career. Instead of focusing on what I lacked, the program taught me how to confidently communicate the value I bring and own my unique strengths.
Beyond career preparation, the program gave me a supportive community. In our small class, we were able to connect on a personal level and realized we all shared many of the same fears and uncertainties about our futures. As the program went on, I watched all of us grow in confidence, gain clarity about our career paths, and become more comfortable advocating for ourselves.
I left the program with practical tools, greater self-awareness, and the confidence to pursue opportunities I may have hesitated to go after before. I would highly recommend The Career Blueprint Program to any student who wants to better understand themselves, build confidence in their abilities, and feel more prepared for life after college. Thank you, Tom and Chris, it was an absolute pleasure! "

"The Career Blueprint program with Chris and Tom was one of the most valuable professional development experiences I've had. Their instruction introduced me to new public speaking techniques that changed the way I engage with an audience and communicate with confidence. The collaborative environment also strengthened my teamwork and leadership skills, giving me practical experience working with others while learning from their diverse perspectives.
One of the biggest takeaways was diving deeper into my Clifton Strengths assessment. I gained a much clearer understanding of my core strengths and, more importantly, how to intentionally apply them in my professional life every day. As someone who is already 10 years into my career and constantly looking for ways to grow, I found the lessons from Chris and Tom to be invaluable. Their passion for developing others, combined with the practical tools they provide, makes this program truly exceptional.
I genuinely believe every student should have the opportunity to take a course like Career Blueprint before beginning their career. The confidence, self awareness, communication skills, and leadership foundation it provides will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
I'm incredibly grateful for the experience, the mentorship from Chris and Tom, and the amazing group of people I had the privilege of learning alongside. Career Blueprint is more than a class, it's an investment in yourself that continues to pay dividends long after it ends."
— Casey Campbell, Assembly Manager
"Before taking the Career Blueprint class, I wasn't sure how to separate myself from other job candidates. The class taught me how to confidently use the STAR interview method, navigate today's AI-driven hiring process, and develop a strategy that helped me stand out. I now feel prepared, confident, and excited about launching my career."
— Jacob Lau, Junior from Eastern Michigan University
"As a current undergraduate senior, I felt that I was missing something in my college experience. I went into the Career Blueprint Program expecting to learn only about qualities that I could use in a future career alone, but in addition to that, Tom and Chris helped me learn and understand personal things about my self.
I learned my strengths, weaknesses and even daily habits that I had and didn’t notice before. They challenged me to step out of my comfort zone with public speaking and to be brave. I didn’t only get support from them but from my peers that were also participating in the program. I was reassured that fear was temporary and that it did not have to stand above my dreams. By the end of the program, I left feeling very confident in myself and in my abilities."
