One way to overcome alumni inertia (if not resistance to engagement) is to provide practical skills and practices to address real-world needs and concerns. Supplementing 1:1 career coaching with group coaching workshops was one way that UCLA Anderson School of Management drove alumni engagement and built community - especially for mid-late career MBA grads. This presentation will examine the UCLA case study as a model for other schools to consider and analyze the format, content, participants, and takeaways.

• Learn a specific career coaching format and methodology that you can apply to your community.
