Why ODU for Au Pair?

From Au Pair to Your Next Chapter is an online course led by a certified career coach and university instructor, designed to help international au pairs prepare for life after their au pair experience—personally and professionally—while they are still living in the United States.

Instead of waiting until your au pair year is over, you'll begin building the confidence, clarity, and practical career tools you need for your next step. Through live discussions, guided activities, and real-world examples, you'll create your resume, strengthen your LinkedIn profile, develop your personal brand, and build a clear plan for your future.

Whether you plan to continue your education, explore new career opportunities, return home, or simply discover what's next, this course will help you move forward with confidence and intention.

Because your next chapter deserves more than saying, "I'll figure it out later."

  • Career Planning & Goal Setting 
  • Resume Development 
  • LinkedIn Profile Basics 
  • Personal Branding 
  • Professional Communication 
  • Interview Preparation
