The core of TNG is its members. Each is a professional committed to finding new work and helping others in their group by participating actively. We focus on mid-career professionals and tailor our training to those jobs and the tactics to find them. We also limit our group membership to 20 people as we’ve found larger numbers diminish the experience and limit the value each member receives.

To be effective, and to provide the best service to you, we screen our membership candidates before inviting them to join. Initially that is a review of your resume and LinkedIn profile. We won’t criticize your work (heck, our job is to help you make those things better), but we do want to make sure you fit our ideal profile. After that, we conduct a short interview to explain the program to you and get your commitment to participate.

Assuming all that checks out it is then your turn to decide if we are good fit for you.

TNG was founded in Indianapolis and originally our meetings were local and in person. Now, our meetings are virtual allowing us to help members from all over the country.

As we expand, our goal is to regionalize our groups to better serve each member locally. However, we’ve found that our training and support are extremely effective regardless of a member’s location.

TNG strives to differentiate our services from others in the job search marketplace. Our feeling is that anyone looking for a new position should investigate all options and engage with the ones that offer the most value for them.

Generally, offerings available to job seekers break down as follows:

• Company paid “Fee Based” Outplacement Services – These firms provide displaced employees outplacement training and coaching services as part of the severance package arranged by their previous employer. Generally, participants are provided job search services for a specific time period as part of the agreement with the employer. Participants generally have access to training, resume development, some networking and limited coaching services.
• Government supported programs – Work One is a good example. The programs are usually free to the job seeker and offer a wide variety of learning subjects.
• Community supported programs – Passport to Employment is a good example. These groups generally meet on a regular basis and provides a variety of learning and networking opportunities. The structure of their services and training vary. Fees are generally free or very inexpensive.
• Private group programs – TNG falls into this category. We offer specialized, structured job training along with coaching in both group and individual settings. Our services are currently compensated by membership fees. It is important to note that TNG membership continues until the member finds a job or opts out of the program. Our services do not expire. Not all private groups have similar policies so make sure you check the program details carefully.
• Private individual programs – These are personal career coaches. Most provide one on one services or workshop programs. Their fees vary and may be per event (i.e. workshop), per activity (i.e. resume creation) or hourly (i.e. coaching). Standard coaching rates run between $50 and $200 per hour. TNG works with several career coaches and experts that we can highly recommend for those who seek individual coaching.
