Programs for Individuals
Executive Manager/Director Professional Technical Student
Kurru Talent offers comprehensive career management programs for individuals at any stage in their career, college student through C-Suite/Executive. Rather than just helping you land your next job, our approach is focused on providing you the knowledge and tools required to achieve your long-term goals. Our programs are adaptable and we take pride in working with our clients to ensure that their unique needs are met while maintaining the highest level of service possible.
Depending on your needs and requirements, your program will fall under one of four major categories. Executive, Manager/Director, Professional or Student. While named for the more traditional tiers of employment found in business, they are certainly not restricted to those who work in a classic for-profit enterprise. Kurru is proud to offer career management services to individuals from any background, regardless of education or current employment. Included in the tier descriptions are some potential titles found outside of traditional business positions that may fall under them. If you don't see a title that corresponds to your own, that's okay! Simply include your current position in your request for further information and we will work with you to determine the program tier that most closely matches your experience and desired outcomes.
All Kurru programs begin with a preliminary meeting to plan the course of your program and determine which options are a right fit for you. This includes determining whether your program will be conducted in-person, online or a hybrid of the two; determining your goals and needs in order to match you with a qualified consultant who has the appropriate experience and education to support you; and what kind of schedule works best for you so we can pair you with a consultant who is not only qualified, but available when you are.
Contact us today to receive your free, no obligation career consultation and program proposal. We look forward to working with you to achieve your goals!
