FRANK SCHROEDER: FOUNDER & CEO, CAMPUS 2 CAREER TRANSITION SERVICES

It was at the height of the 2009 financial crisis that Frank Schroeder founded Campus 2 Career Transition Services (“C2C”) to help parents protect their most precious investment—their children. “I recognized the need for this high value, high touch service,” explains Schroeder, who serves as CEO of what has blossomed into a successful enterprise. “The company was created to provide young college graduates with the coaching and hands-on assistance they need to define their career objective and land a meaningful job or internship in the field of their choice. Our success rate is 98 percent.” Schroeder brings a diverse background to the company, including more than 40 years of sales, marketing, corporate development, and general management for leading U.S. organizations. “This track record allows me to assist young adults in finding the right first job in the field of their choice,” he says, adding that his experience and dedication to this demographic sets his business apart from the competition. “Our process is hands on starting with assessments to on-boarding advice and salary negotiations following an offer.” Each client has a primary coach who is the day-to-day contact. “Just like financial advisors, our coaches build strong bonds of trust,” says Schroeder. “Other members of the C2C team our clients meet include specialized coaches in strategic résumé development and interviewing skills. Searching the job market is often bewildering, formidable, and can be confidence shattering. Having a solid, logical plan and dedicated seasoned coaches who are invested in success take away much of the stress and allows the client to focus on the task at hand.”
