The summer that changes your recruiting trajectory.
Built by three advisors who have made hiring decisions at Fortune 500 companies — and who are advising inside a top business school with a 99.2% NACE career outcomes rate this semester. A 6-week program for students without a summer internship who want to be ahead of their peers when applications open this Fall.
"I don't know what I'm doing wrong."
That's the sentence we hear most often. Not from failing students. From capable ones — students who applied to 20, 30, 70 positions and heard back from almost none. Who are watching peers land internships without understanding what those peers did differently.
The problem isn't effort. It's information, and knowing what to do with it. College teaches you how to apply. It doesn't teach you how organizations decide — how hiring managers assess risk, how trust is built in early conversations, and how a candidate earns a final interview instead of silence.
That's the hidden curriculum. C2A makes it explicit.
You're the right student if:
- You're a college student without a summer internship
- You've applied to positions and rarely heard back — if at all
- You're not sure whether the problem is your resume, your targeting, your story, or all three
- You have the motivation to do the work — you just need someone who actually knows
- You want advisors who are actively advising hundreds of students at a top-ranked business school — and who have made the hiring decisions at Fortune 500s
THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FOR:
- Students looking for a shortcut or a guaranteed outcome
- Students who won't engage with the weekly accountability structure
- Students with no runway — this program is built for students who have time to build before the recruiting window opens
Six weeks. Every session is built around one question: How will I stand out?

Week 2: Make Them Remember You
Week 3: The Resume That Gets Read
Week 4: Get in the Room

A degree used to get you in the room.
Now it gets you in the pile.
Every candidate has a degree. The ones who get the call show up with something else — a clear story, a targeted strategy, and the confidence to execute when the window opens.
That's not something a degree teaches. Six weeks changes what comes next.

FAQ
How much time does the program actually take?
Approximately 4–6 hours per week across group sessions, 1:1 advisory sessions, weekly accountability check-ins, and assignments. The summer is your investment. Fall recruiting is your return.
Can I do this program if I have a part-time job or travel plans?Â
Yes, with some planning. The program runs 6 weeks and is designed for students who have other summer commitments. All group sessions and live commitments happen on Wednesday evenings — 6:00 PM MT / 8:00 PM ET — so you only need to set aside one night a week. If you have a specific conflict, reach out at [email protected] before enrolling and we’ll tell you whether it’s workable.
Â
What if I don’t land an internship after the program?
That's a fair question, and we'll be straight with you. We don't guarantee outcomes. We guarantee preparation.
We advise inside a business school with a 99.2% career outcomes rate. That number reflects what happens when students are prepared before the window opens — not after it closes. If you show up and do the work, you enter fall recruiting with a resume that's ready, a network in motion, and a plan you own. By the end of six weeks, you're ready.
Â
Can’t I just use AI for this?
AI can help you draft a resume or rehearse an answer. It cannot put you in a room with someone who has made real hiring decisions and teach you how to read it. The judgment, the adjustment, the ability to feel when you’re landing and when you’re losing the room — that only comes from practice with real people. That’s the experience. We provide it.
