EYP provides technical customer support through a chat box feature. The user is asked for name, email, university, and the nature of their issue. Average response times during regular business hours is anywhere from 3 to 60 minutes. After hour support issues are handled on the next business day.

Institution IT Support

Little to no additional IT support is required from an institution’s IT department. The only area that may need IT support is with SSO/LTI integration setup.

How do you maintain privacy and confidentiality?

Exploring Your Potential is acutely sensitive to privacy information and federal compliance. All of the data will be maintained within a SOX-compliant framework on a secure server system.

How does Exploring Your Potential™ differ from other related services?

Books and other related career readiness materials typically cost a lot more and require instruction and dedicated counseling. Moreover, these materials typically focus on the standard formula of resume writing, interviewing skills, and perhaps campus-based recruiting efforts. We go far beyond this expensive and traditional approach with an organic, holistic, and tactically proven way to engage people in thinking about their future.

Are you providing specific employment opportunities in the courses?

No. We are teaching people to fish. The courses help you understand your career potential in the context of global possibilities. They shape and broaden your perspectives so that when it comes to finding specific employment or making career choices, you are more capable, proactive, and independent in your efforts.

Do I have to take each Exploring Your Potential™ course in any particular order?

We do recommend that the courses be completed in successive order, as the conversations and lessons build upon one another. Even if you do not take all four courses, each one has standalone value as an independent learning experience.

Is it possible to obtain only one or two modules within a course?

No. Each course with its six modules is designed to be completed in its entirety and we are not providing these module-by-module.

How long do I have access to my Exploring Your Potential™ course materials?

You will retain access to previously completed course materials and results for up to 2 years (24 months) between events. OR for the duration of the subscription.
