The Springboard Academy works with the following organizations to further our mission to help men and women accelerate their success. We are very thankful for the work they do and their support of the Springboard Academy.
Four Seasons Hotel www.fourseasons.com/seattle/
The Four Seasons Hotel is the gracious host for Springboard’s frequent happy hour “meet-ups” as well as classes and workshops. Located in the heart of Seattle, the Four Seasons Hotel places you within a five-minute stroll of the Seattle Art Museum, concerts at Benaroya Hall or the energy of Pike Place Market. Discover an intimate, cutting-edge ambiance warmed by Pacific Northwest materials and accented by works from Seattle’s vibrant creative community. And enjoy captivating views of Elliott Bay, Puget Sound and the surrounding peaks – whether over chic cuisine, from the floor-to-ceiling windows of your guest room, in your couple’s suite in the Spa or by the glow of the fireplace as you relax beside the rooftop pool.
Jobfully www.jobfully.com
Jobfully is a job search productivity suite designed to keep you on track and on task, optimizing your time and make the most of each day. It is also a self-paced coaching program that teaches you how to set objectives, market yourself, interview successfully and get hired.

Her vision for Jobfully is to create a place where job seekers are empowered to reach success in their career and in life. Every member of the Jobfully team is committed to helping each job seeker lead a productive, positive job search and find fulfilling work.
