Real possibility.

01 / THE CONVERSATION IS THE BLUEPRINT

Built around
your reality.

On October 2, you described a team doing deeply personal work. The website should make that work easier to find, easier to support and easier to manage.

“It’s simple
for a reason.”Kamber CaulkinsKamber CaulkinsOctober 2, 2026 conversation
01

A first step with dignity.

Keep the initial application simple. Move personal case-management questions into a later, more thoughtful conversation.

02

A record that follows the person.

Find the profile, preparation and next action together, with a printable summary when the team needs one.

03

A connection that lasts.

Help people stay engaged during the weeks before a cohort begins. Keep employer introductions in CDC hands.

02 / THE DAY GETS EASIER HERE

Meet your new
Wednesday.

You already know how to build trust.
The proposed Team Platform gives that work a simpler home.

First contact

Apply with confidence.

Start with contact information and the essentials. Save progress. Ask the deeper questions once there is a relationship.

Plan with this option

A clear scope.

All options include the six public pages, responsive layouts, existing-media placement, two consolidated review rounds, the listed training sessions and 30 days of launch support.

Clear ongoing costs.

Hosting, domain renewal, email delivery, scheduling or payment-provider charges and ongoing care are separate. Confirm the provider costs and any care plan before agreement. No recurring service is enrolled here.

Scope details, connections & boundaries

Website Foundation

Editing covers agreed page text, stories and events, with preview and publishing. Donation work connects one CDC-owned checkout. This scope does not replace the team’s scheduling or follow-up process.

Team Platform

Add up to 15 agreed case-prep questions, one intake calendar with staff-controlled slots, a five-message pre-cohort email sequence, staff roles and approved employer submissions. Candidate introductions remain staff-controlled; the roster is never an employer directory.

Connected Growth

Add restricted document collection, access history and agreed retention; one import of up to 500 approved records from a clean export; cohort and placement summaries; and a resource hub. Include the original filming, video deliverables, SEO and launch measurement described above. Historical file cleanup and bulk document migration are separately scoped.

Connected with care

CDC supplies approved copy, questions, dates, media permissions and provider access. Faber Works and the learning platform begin as verified resource links. Custom API work, SMS and new third-party subscriptions are separately scoped. Original filming is included in Connected Growth only; other options use existing media.

Private information

Document collection goes live only after storage, staff access, consent and retention rules are agreed and tested. IDs and Social Security records are never collected in the proposal, onboarding brief or public staff demonstration.

Proposed commercial terms

Prices are one-time project fees in USD for the listed scope. Final scope, payment milestones and launch dates are confirmed in the written agreement. Selecting an option saves a planning preference; it is not a signature or a payment.

05 / THE PATH FROM HERE

A head start.
A shared finish line.

The meeting’s goal was momentum in Q4. We’ll confirm a realistic launch window around the selected scope, your content and your team’s availability.

Agree on what makes the day easier.

Finalize the forms, fields, calendar rules and approved scope. Name the people who approve the work.

Your team approves the plan.
Working in the current build

You can already see the direction.

The six public pages, application save-and-return, private next-step lookup and authenticated application-review queue are implemented. The staff demonstration explores the broader workflow with fictional records.

Complete within the chosen scope

Then connect the operation.

Finish the content editor and donation connection, then the selected scheduling, messaging, employer, document or reporting tools. For Connected Growth, produce the films, optimize the public pages for search and configure launch measurement. Configure access and practice the real handoffs before launch.

SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE THIS

Useful on day one.
Still useful on day thirty.

We’ll test the selected workflows with your team, using real tasks and sample records before launch.

A person can begin.

Complete the application on a phone, return to a saved draft and understand the next step.

Maria has control.

For Team and Growth, book only open intake times and see the participant in the shared queue.

The record is useful.

For Team and Growth, review a profile and case-prep answers, assign a follow-up and print a summary.

The relationship stays yours.

For Team and Growth, approve an employer request without exposing the student roster.

The few things we need from your team
  • Final application and case-management questions, with the team’s current intake rules.
  • Approved biographies, photographs, films, current outcomes and employer relationships.
  • For Connected Growth: filming availability, interview participants, location permission, participant releases and access to CDC-owned search and analytics accounts.
  • Cohort dates, event dates, staff availability and one content approval contact.
  • CDC-owned service accounts and approved access, plus a clean source export if migration is selected.

THE NEXT DECISION

More possibility.
Less getting in the way.

Start with the scope that helps your people most.
We’ll shape the final plan together.

Planning only. No signature or payment is collected.
