With the new year in full swing, February is all about maintaining momentum. In this issue, we’re sharing updates designed to help programs keep learners motivated, engaged, and moving forward. Read on to meet our scholarship winners, explore new resources, and catch up on what’s new at CareerVillage.
Coach Updates
We continue to develop Coach to support long-term engagement and consistent learner progress. Here’s the latest:
- 🚀 Progress Page: Learners can track their streak status, set their preferred engagement cadence, and see the badges they’ve earned.
- 💬 Proactive Follow-up Capabilities: Coach can follow up with meaningful interactions like reminders, resources and next steps. Learners can opt in and out while managing communication preferences.
- 🎯 Set career goals directly on the Coach homepage and Coach will surface related activities.
- 💌 Redesigned activities that break complex tasks into manageable steps, walk learners through hands-on exercises, and gradually transfer responsibility from Coach to the learner.
Check out our blog to read more about these updates and stay tuned as we continue expanding Coach’s in the months ahead!

How AI-powered career coaching is helping STARs tear the paper ceiling
What role can emerging technology play in helping more STARs translate inspiration into concrete career plans? Join us on Thursday, February 26, for a conversation exploring how AI-enabled career navigation can help STARs navigate job transitions, translate their skills and experience into new roles, and find new employment opportunities. Featuring Charla Bennaji (CareerVillage.org), Natalia Lara (Opportunity@Work), and Ebony D. Thomas (Grads of Life).
AI for Career Development Coalition
CareerVillage.org is the founding convener of the coalition, which is called, aptly, the AI for Career Development Coalition, or AICD. The coalition launched with about 80 member organizations–educational institutions, solutions providers, research outfits, philanthropic organizations, and policy institutes–but it has since swelled to more than 150 members. In launching, the AICD released its first sector pulse report.
