Yes, candidates will interview with employer hosts for the Fellowship. The decision to interview or offer the Fellowship to you is completely up to the employer host.


Selected participants invest a $450 Commitment Fee to participate in the Grad2Hire career readiness bootcamp.


When you sign up for Grad2Hire, we make a commitment to help you build critical career management and professional skills while exploring careers and preparing for your next step. Unlike other similar programs that charge thousands of dollars, we don't believe in gouging people when they're already vulnerable.  However, we do want to ensure you are equally committed to getting the most out of the program.


Our Commitment to You: If you complete the program in full and haven't secured at least one interview within 6 months of completing the program and are still actively job seeking, you may request a refund. We believe in our program—and your potential—enough to back it up. 


We believe every new graduate deserves access to high-quality career guidance and the support necessary to launch a successful career. To help make this a reality, we offer a limited number of scholarships to students who demonstrate financial need and are willing to provide additional administrative support to help us run the program. Scholarships help offset the cost of LiftHER Career’s programs by 50%.


Scholarships will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.


Reach out to us at hello@lifthercareer.com for more information.


Most of the opportunities, either full-time roles that we refer you for or the Fellowship, will be related to Risk Management and Insurance. However, it is not exclusive. We have referred students for careers in financial services, consulting, tech, HR, and other areas.


Our aim is to help you launch your career! If there are opportunities in other areas that are a fit and we can refer you, we absolutely will!
