Group Coaching isn’t the only change on the horizon. Career Services as a whole is getting a refresh with new resources and expertise from Lighthouse Labs. What does that mean?

Whether it’s resume tweaks, interview prep, or guidance on navigating workplace challenges, the tools and coaching support you rely on will now be offered in more flexible and on-demand formats to help you when you need it most!
This is just one way we’re expanding our support for your career growth. We're offering deeper, more accessible services that meet your needs whenever you need them.
As the workplace continues to evolve and emerging technologies like AI reshape roles and career progression, these enhanced Career Services will help you navigate that change. By staying ahead of trends through collaboration with industry and employers, we’re committed to giving you the tools to adapt, overcome challenges, and seize new opportunities in an ever-changing workforce.
We’ve already mentioned a few times that the workplace is evolving fast. And you already know staying ahead means staying connected. The acquisition of Lighthouse Labs effectively doubles the network of employers and mentors who are available to work with, support, and hire Uvaro Members.
This integration brings together industry associations, regional partners, and employer networks so we can work together to identify the emerging skills that matter most. When you’re plugged into these insights, you can feel better prepared to adapt as the job market shifts and align your career with in-demand opportunities.
It’s not just about connections—it’s about what they make possible. Whether it’s gaining a clearer understanding of industry trends or finding new ways to grow your expertise, this expanded network gives you an edge in navigating the challenges of a rapidly changing workforce.
