What the research demands

This curriculum is anchored in a comprehensive research summary synthesizing employment economics, organizational psychology, career development theory, and program evaluation evidence specific to women navigating involuntary career exits.

The research points to bold, non-negotiable recommendations for program design. Every phase, every session, and every module in this curriculum is a direct response to one or more of these recommendations. They are the starting point — not the footnotes.
