About Mission Collaborative:
At Mission Collaborative, we help people design fulfilling careers using the power of design thinking. We’ve supported thousands of individuals, including more than more than 300 UC Davis alumni, on their career design journey, providing a structured process to help clarify what’s next. Through our programs, participants gain a better understanding of themselves, identify opportunities for growth, and create actionable steps for meaningful career transitions.
Feedback from UC Davis alumni has been overwhelmingly positive:
"Initially, I had my doubts about how the career design fellowship could actually impact my future positively as it seemed like such an abstract concept. However, 4 weeks later, I have emerged with an unprecedented awareness of how to approach my career, which will ultimately lead me to a more fulfilling life!"
97% of participants were glad they joined, with 84% leaving with a clear process for exploring new career possibilities, and 78% discovering valuable resources to guide their journey. By applying design thinking principles—such as prototyping new career ideas, testing assumptions, and challenging limiting beliefs—our participants feel empowered to take action, supported by a community of peers and career design experts.
“I would highly recommend this course to anyone stuck in a rut like me. You are worth the investment to discover the best match for your career path and life journey."
