Opportunity Junction provides ongoing follow-up and support to alumni of the program:
Alumni Meetings: Quarterly alumni meetings provide alumni with updated information regarding the technology and business worlds. At these quarterly meetings, Bay Area professionals come in to share their expertise and career histories as an additional educational tool for the alumni. Some of the topics discussed include: balancing your career and family, stress management, money management, investment options, diversity in the workplace, and conflict resolution.
Alumni Center: Alumni are invited to use the computers in Opportunity Junction's Alumni Center, which is also set up with a fax machine and voicemail. The Alumni Center computers have a high-speed Internet connection, training software, and access to server space for storage of job search and training materials.
Case Management: Alumni are eligible for continuing case management and career counseling with our Manager of Professional Development, who also performs routine follow-up with recent alumni.
Mental Health Services and Support: Alumni are encouraged to use the services of Opportunity Junction's counseling staff as they adjust to new circumstances in their lives. Alumni may receive counseling and referrals, and they may participate in a monthly support group for Opportunity Junction alumni.
