About iRelaunch and our Parnerships
If you’re an advocate or champion of relaunchers and are already aware of the incredible value they bring to the workforce, or if you’re looking to provide support and resources to these relaunchers, you’re in the right place.
We create the space for relaunchers to land.
Our mission is to eliminate bias against people who take extended career breaks. Our vision is that every employer running an entry-level university internship program has a mid-career reentry program running side by side.
We seek to normalize the decision to take a career break and recognize this untapped talent pool for what it is: highly educated, diverse, experienced, and motivated.
As the pioneering company in the career reentry space, we're in a position to influence the conversations at employers and among relaunchers about what it means to take a career break and the caliber of the relauncher talent pool. As a result, career breaks have been completely reframed: it used to be that a career break was a reason to reject a candidate. Now career breaks are required to be eligible to apply for and participate in employer return to work programs.
This reframing is a major milestone in the institutional shift required to normalize career breaks.

University Partners
We have a mutual goal with our university partners: to provide high-caliber, high-quality resources at an affordable price point to alumni seeking career advice. Especially alumni that come knocking at the door of your institution's career services or alumni relations departments looking for guidance on how to address a gap on their resume and how to get back to work after a career break. We've partnered with countless colleges and universities due to this natural alignment and shared objective. We've already built the framework and the tools. We'd love to share them with you.
Professional Associations
We often advise relaunchers to seek out the professional organizations and continuing education events that are relevant to their career relaunch interests as a relaunching strategy. You can provide those relaunchers (and even those without career breaks) valuable career insights, job search strategies and content on other relevant topics. You never know who may be anticipating a career break in the future or looking to get back to work after one. Chances are, everyone in the room knows a relauncher and can pass along the intel! iRelaunch is also an approved provider of continuing education credits for SHRM.
Community Partners
Our communities grow stronger and more powerful when we collaborate together. We partner with various affinity groups to build our the respective strength of our communities, cross-pollinate ideas, share the wealth of knowledge ensure that the right resources are getting to the right people in our community. If you have a similar audience to iRelaunch, or if you know there are relaunchers in you audience that you want to connect to our resources, we'd love to explore opportunities to benefit our respective communities.
