Great to see this initiative! From our work at High Impact Professionals (HIP), we’ve found that for experienced professionals, the barriers to translating initial EA knowledge into real career changes are often quite broad. These include feeling isolated in their impact-driven goals, lack of time and structure, uncertainty about relevant options, motivation and accountability challenges, and difficulty identifying concrete next steps.
To address this, our Impact Accelerator Program (IAP) helps professionals develop an impact plan and take meaningful steps towards high-impact career transitions. In 2024 alone, 30 participants successfully transitioned to impactful roles through the program.
This could be a valuable resource to add to your list for community members who are further along in their careers and looking for structured support in making a difference.
Thanks for your comment Nina! I’ve definitely kept tabs on and been inspired by what you all are doing at HIP. In fact, we might be using some small pieces as inspiration for a revamp of our career fellowship later this year (more so tailored for current students or recent grads). I’ll definitely add a link to the IAP in the ‘Activities’ tab in the template.
