Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at hello@lifthercareer.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

This will depend on the role and location of the role. We will share information regarding stipends with you when sharing the opportunity.


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 $200 Commitment Fee to participate in the Grad2Hire career readiness bootcamp. Upon successful completion of the bootcamp, provided you show up consistently and are engaged, if you are not offered a Fellowship AND unable to find a full-time role within 6 months, we will refund your Commitment Fee.


Why? 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. If we can't help you get your career launched, we train you for free.


Most of the opportunities, either full-time roles that we refer you for or the Fellowship, will be in Risk Management and Insurance. However, it is not exclusive. We have referred students for careers in 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!
