Questions about Our Personalized Course kCAP

What is kCAP?

Our Kadima Career Acceleration Program is a one-on-one career coaching program that's tailored to you. You'll get six personal coaching sessions, regular office hours, email support whenever you need it, and scheduled phone calls. We'll not only help you get the job, but we'll support you for a full year post-hire to help you onboard successfully, get you on a path to promotion, and make you layoff-proof. With kCAP, you'll be on your way to significantly increasing your compensation potential. And, the best part is that you'll have lifetime access to our online resources, like videos, templates, and worksheets, so you can keep using them long after the program is over. For more info on kCAP, Alan recorded this video.

How long does the kCAP program last?

kCAP is designed to last one year after you land your better job. While on average it takes Kadima Career clients 3.68 months to land a job, the more typical range is 3-6 months. We’ve had some clients that landed a role within weeks and one who took eleven months. No matter how long it takes, we have you covered until you land that better job.  

After the job is secured, your next year of kCAP support begins on your start date in your new role. So in total, your time with Kadima will likely be between 15-18 months

Do I need to apply for kCAP?

Yes, you do! We keep the number of participants in our program small so that we can give everyone the best support possible. Plus, as part of the program, our team will introduce you to hiring managers and recruiters at top tech companies. So, we want to make sure we're introducing the most qualified and prepared candidates.

What happens after I apply?

We take a look at every application we get and if it seems like you could be a good match for our Kadima Career Acceleration Program, we'll schedule a Free Career Advice video call. We'll ask you more about your career, what you've accomplished so far, any challenges you've faced and give you some recommendations. Not everyone is right for our program, but even if it's not the right fit for you, we'll still make sure you leave our call with some valuable insights. So don't hesitate to apply!

What is expected of kCAP clients?

kCAP is a rigorous program to help you land your dream job, place you on a path to promotion, and equip you with tools to layoff proof your career. Each week, we'll ask you to complete assignments to move forward in your job search, like connecting with people in your network, reaching out to current or past employees at companies you're interested in, and applying to a certain number of jobs. You'll also be required to attend your personal coaching sessions throughout the program. We ask that you set aside around 10 hours each week to participate in the program. Here is a video overview of what to expect with kCAP.

What behaviors do successful kCAP clients exhibit?

Our most successful clients:

  • Have a growth mindset and are eager for feedback
  • Follow our proven system (which we constantly evolve based on feedback and market dynamics)
  • Persevere - you will get rejected, a lot.
  • Motivated to make a change
  • Prioritize ten hours per week to their career acceleration
  • Ask questions when stumped
  • Use our resources (Digital Course, Group Coaching, 1:1 Coaching, Negotiation Services, LinkedIn Community, Interview Database, etc)
What happens after kCAP ends?

Even after you finish your program, you'll still have a connection to the Kadima team through our private LinkedIn Acceleration Nation community. Plus, you'll have lifetime access to all our online resources. So you're not just getting a short-term boost, you'll have long-term support and resources to help you continue to reach your career goals.

What guarantees come with kCAP?

All of Kadima Careers’ solutions come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. We don’t expect that you will need to execute this, but if you feel that you are not getting value within the first 30 days, just ask for your money back and we’ll get it back to you.

How much does kCAP cost?

kCAP’s total cost includes two components:

1) A Take Off Investment of $5,497 is made once you are accepted into the program. 

2) The Orbit Velocity Investment starts on the first day of your new job and included 12 monthly payments of $500.

What are the other payment options?

For those who may find it challenging to pay the Take Off Investment in full, we offer two alternative payment options. You can opt for a 3-month plan, where you pay $2,000 per month for three months, bringing the total amount to $6,000. Alternatively, you may choose a 6-month plan, where you pay $1,200 per month, resulting in a total of $7,200.

Regarding the Orbit Velocity Investment, we provide the flexibility to commence your monthly payments of $500 on the day you receive your first paycheck.

Is there any tax incentive or expense deduction to coaching?

Career Coaching and Consulting is often considered a business expense and could possibly be deducted from your income tax. Please consult with your Accountant to find out if you qualify for this deduction.
