Considering a career change or making a first time career choice? Rockport Institute has helped more than 14,000 people all over the U.S. (and worldwide) choose a new career. Career change clients range from Fortune 500 CEOs, executives, professionals, art and technical professionals, people returning to the workforce, people seeking careers where they can make a positive difference, and people who have had what they describe as jobs, not careers. We also provide career coaching for younger people making an original choice. Courses based on our work are taught in colleges and universities including Stanford University. We are recommended by Yale Grad School and many others.

We are expert career change and career design professionals with an extraordinary reputation for effectiveness, working one-on-one with you by phone or in-person. If you are seeking a career that fits your talents, personality, passions, interests, goals, and dreams, we can get you to your goal.

Our founder has been commended for excellence by two U.S. presidents and is the author of two of the most widely used and praised career guides ever published. One of them, The Pathfinder, was a top-10 national bestseller and has been translated into several languages. We were the original creators of the field of career coaching (as distinct from old-fashioned career counseling) back in the early 1980s, coined the term career coaching, and have been a leader since then in developing powerful and practical methods to help you choose a career that fits you perfectly. Here's what people are saying about our work:

A FEW CLIENT QUOTES

• “I highly recommend Rockport Institute's career choice program, which gives you access to a personal career coach to guide you through the research and decision-making process. I can't count the number of times that I … hit a wall in my thinking, and my career coach was there to give me constructive feedback or reassure me that I was on the right track. Having that support and guidance made all the difference to finally making a decision on my new career path.”
