    Invaluable and lasting help- a must do!

    I participated in the January 2014 Zulily program with Koru and was blown away by how valuable it was for me. The program fills the skills gap that doesn't seem to exist between college and the real world.

    I am now employed in Seattle and use the skills I gained in Koru on a daily basis. I am also still connected to the program and see my relationship with them as lasting, symbiotic, and quite frankly- fun. 

    The leadership team is what makes th...

    Awesome People, Awesome Experience

    I applied to Koru on a whim. Hence my scramble to prepare for the program two weeks before it began. Although that was stresful, the experience was worth it. If I was to place Koru on my timeline, it would be the third most important event on it. 

    I graduted from an amazing liberal arts institution, but for reasons beyond my control was not able to take full advantages of its resources. Koru did for me in a month's time what I blindly failed to achieve during my 4 y...

    Get your career headed in the right direction

    College may teach subjects ranging from computer science to international relations but it doesn't teach you what you need to suceed in the workplace or what type of career is right for you.  I was so lucky to have the opportunity to participate in Koru last June and absorb all they have to teach.  The program instruction is incredible and you learn more in that month than you would have thought is possible.  They challenge and show you how to be your best self everyday....

    An Opportunity of a Lifetime

    I am so lucky to have had a month off from adventuring this past June. Graduating in May, my first focus was to see the world. I had planned a trip to Mt. Everest with my Dad, a few roadtrips, and more, but I still had no idea what I wanted to pursue after the travels were done. Although I had a broad set of interests, I had very little interest in following a normal career path. Thanks to Koru, I found a way to launch my career in my dream job!

    My aunt told me about Koru in Janu...

    Land your first job!

    Your senior year of college can be an unbelievably stressful time. But what if you had a post-graduation plan that allowed you to land a great job, while setting aside the tiresome (and fruitless) task of sending out hundreds of nameless application emails?  Koru allows you to do just that. This is a fantastic program that teaches you usable workforce skills while simultaneously helping you boost and develop your professional network. You will be introduced to recruiter...

    Excellent Experience! This is the next big thing

    I recently completed the December 2014 KoruX program with Trupanion. Koru is an amazing experience that positions its participants well for future success and actually landing that first real job. I have been out of college for several years, but can say that I am now in a better position professionally that I ever have been, thanks to the networking, personal branding, and direction I've received from Koru. Disruption really is the path to growth, and if you feel stuck, stag...

    Incredibly inspiring experience that motivates you to accomplish anything!

    I did the spring break Koru program in the fall of 2014 and it without a doubt changed my career and lifestyle trajerctories. Before doing the program, I was unsure of my potential and what I could/should do after graduating college, but after completing the program, I felt as if I could be successful doing anything I wanted--which made me more confident and ambitious. I wish I could do the program over again just to re-meet all the amazing people (other participants, Koru employ...
