AccelPro, a new career development platform focused on building
inclusive peer communities organized by professional specialty, has
launched its peer-to-peer coaching feature to complement its weekly
expert interviews. Powered by global educational services provider
Kaplan, the platform delivers critical insights for professionals
and democratizes access to the benefits of executive-level
coaching.
AccelPro accelerates professional development by supporting
professionals in specific industries like law and accounting, and
specialties within those industries, such as employment law and
audit. Since its initial launch this summer, more than 7,500
members have joined to access interviews with industry experts on
key topics including collective bargaining, discrimination, AI,
intellectual property, and bioinformatics. And now, AccelPro is
introducing its peer-to-peer coaching platform with topics that
include moving from a firm to in-house, managing client
relationships, and working with recruiters.
“In competitive fields with changing norms, the traditional
top-down approach to learning and mentorship does not adequately
serve the most important constituent: the professional,” said Geoff
Isenman, general manager, AccelPro. “We launched AccelPro to help
professionals actively manage their careers through expert insights
and moderated peer-to-peer coaching. We give members the chance to
openly discuss career strategies and struggles unique not just to
an industry, but to specialties within it. We are thrilled by the
thoughtful participation we are seeing from the professionals who
have already joined the community, demonstrating that there’s a
real need for this kind of development tool.”
Alongside exclusive interviews, the opportunity to connect with
peers and experts is designed to help professionals navigate and
accelerate their careers. Through AccelPro’s products, community
members can ask for guidance and offer advice on their most
pressing career questions. Additional legal and accounting
specialties are set to launch in the coming months.
Legal and accounting professionals can now join the beta for
free to receive weekly insights from experts and join moderated
peer-to-peer coaching sessions.
