“I am very appreciative for my time with What’s Next as it has been beneficial and resourceful for my post graduate career. It was helpful in helping me lay out a framework in the job searching process as well as giving me material for financial and goal planning. I feel a lot better about my next steps in my career because before I was uncomfortable with the whole process to begin with and now have direction.”

Braedon R.

“ThanK you so much for the information you provided on personal finance for my boys.  This was exactly what I had been looking for.  It was a fantastic overview of credit, insurance, taxes and budgeting with great tips and resources.   I wish I had this kind of info when I was their age!”

Nancy S.

“As a college senior, I felt like I had learned a lot about the world around me, how to work in groups, and skills particular to my major. What’s Next helped me to develop a key understanding of myself that enabled me to feel confident about multiple career paths that I could enjoy and positively contribute to. Karen is an encouraging and dedicated mentor and I would recommend What’s Next to anybody looking to try something new in their career.  ”

Mary H.

"Seeking guidance and support from What's Next? and Karen Johnson helped my son gain a new understanding of his strengths and interests and presented him with a variety of options to consider as he transitions into adulthood. Karen was organized, thorough, motivating and encouraging. A summary of the results from various assessments and discovery sessions ensured that my son had all of the tools and resources on hand after his one-on-one sessions ended. I recommend What's Next? to anyone considering making a career or life change that's not quite sure where to start. Our expectations were exceeded in every way.” 

Jenny R.

“I found Karen’s What’s Next through Miami’s parent portal and thought it might be a good investment after my son graduated without a job lined up. He was overwhelmed by the process and unsure where to begin. Karen helped him polish his resume, set up job alerts, and learn how to apply with confidence. Her program gave him a strong kick start in the right direction, and she truly cares about helping young adults figure out What’s Next.”
