This week on Empowered & Out, we’re joined by the incredible Jane Klein, an internship coach and dear friend. As a former corporate leader with over 30 years of experience in IT management, digital transformation, and business strategy. Jane has taken all of her insider knowledge and turned it into actionable coaching for college students — teaching them how to land competitive internships and step into the workforce with confidence and clarity.
In this episode, we’re breaking down what employers really want, how students can build professional networks that open doors, and why standing out is about much more than just having a strong GPA. Get ready — Jane is bringing the kind of advice every early career professional needs but rarely gets.
