Our capstone events, the Mock Interview Festival and RiskReady Capstone, provide additional opportunities for you to hone your interview skills and work in teams to propose solutions to real-world risk and insurance scenarios while being mentored by professionals.
Bootcamp participants who complete the program in full are eligible to be referred for full-time roles or interview for a Fellowship with our company hosts. Selected Fellows receive a stipend for the duration of the program and ongoing coaching to help you succeed.
If you’re on an F-1 visa and eligible for STEM OPT, we welcome you to participate. We advocate for all our employer partners to hire international students or accept them for the Fellowship. We can also provide support for any required documentation. However, the decision is ultimately up to our partners.

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!
