Congratulations Carol!

Centerpoint would like to congratulate our Founder, Carol Vecchio, for being a recipient of the 2010 National Career Development Association’s Outstanding Career Practitioner Award for her contributions to the field! We are so happy she received this well-deserved recognition for all of her life-changing work here!

Our Mission

…is to inspire people to discover creativity, passion, and renewed commitment in life and at work.


Founded in 1992, Centerpoint Institute for Life and Career Renewal is an educational, not-for-profit organization dedicated to changing the way we live and work…because life isn’t linear! We offer workshops, resources, and support to guide you and your employees through any stage of the career process including:

  • Navigating the confusing terrain of life and career changes and transitions
  • Uncovering your passions and what you want to do "when you grow up"—or for your next career
  • Helping with your job search including brushing up your networking skills and learning creative job hunting techniques
  • Sharing strategies for effective, on-going career management

Re-Invent Your Life and Career!

Do your New Year’s Resolutions include finding answers to the questions “Who am I?” and “Where am I going?” The Retreat is designed to help you explore those questions, and gain the clarity and ability to act upon those answers. We have a spot for you in our next Retreat! Find out more, including quotes from past participants, here.
