Partners International is expanding workplace support with family career benefits designed to help employees’ young adult children navigate early professional decisions. Its CareerPath Finder program combines a comprehensive career assessment with personalized coaching to identify individual strengths, explore potential career paths and establish actionable next steps. Participants can receive guidance while pursuing internships, entering the workforce, considering early-career opportunities or making initial career pivots. Employers can offer the program through their Total Rewards strategies, extending career support beyond their immediate workforce.
The approach broadens the role of employee benefits by addressing challenges that can affect workers through their families. For Partners International, CareerPath Finder also creates a new audience for expertise traditionally focused on established professionals and career transitions. Employers can use the offering to differentiate their benefits packages, while Partners builds relationships with younger consumers at the beginning of their professional journeys.
