Career Coaches for Alumni

University of Miami alumni who graduated more than three years ago have access to a variety of external career coaches. Each individual has a unique set of needs, and therefore, we encourage you to review the options available before making a decision. All of the career coaches listed here offer a free consultation and a variety of options for career coaching. The Toppel Career Center lists these seven service providers as a courtesy and makes no representation or endorsement of the services they may provide you.

If you graduated within the last three years, you can meet one-on-one with a Toppel career coach. Please join our virtual drop-in coaching hours via Zoom at https://tinyurl.com/toppel, Monday – Friday, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, to meet with a Toppel career coach without an appointment or to schedule an appointment with a coach in advance. You may sign up for either a phone or a virtual appointment.

Alumni who graduated with an MBA or specialized Masters’ from the Miami Herbert Business School can utilize the career coaches featured on this page upon graduation.

Alumni who graduated from the University of Miami School of Law can access services here.
