The King's Promise: Your launchpad for a purposeful life after King's
“The King’s Promise program significantly enriched my King’s experience by providing practical, hands-on learning opportunities that complemented my academic studies. The support and resources offered by the King's Promise ensured I could effectively navigate my career path with confidence and clarity.” - Shuai Chen, BMOS ’24
The King’s Promise is our signature commitment to your future. Through a structured four-year career readiness program, you’ll gain the experiences, skills, and connections that prepare you for meaningful work aligned with your goals or for competitive applications to further education.
From your first day on campus, the King’s Promise helps you make intentional decisions about your future. And because we’re confident in the value of this experience, we back it with a signature guarantee.
Our guarantee is simple: if you complete the full King's Promise program and do not secure meaningful employment or admission to further education within six months of graduation, you can return to King's for one additional year of tuition-free courses and personalized career support.
Over your King’s journey, you’ll engage in four Career Conversations, four External Engagement Tasks, and four Applied Deliverables, each designed to strengthen your professional readiness and help you apply your education in meaningful ways.
Career Conversation: A guided discussion that enables you to understand your strengths, clarify your goals, and develop the tools needed to move forward with confidence.
External Engagement Task: A real-world experience, such as job shadowing, volunteering, or an informational interview, that broadens your understanding of career pathways, expands your professional network, and connects your education to future possibilities.
Applied Deliverable: A hands-on project that allows you to put your knowledge into practice, demonstrate transferable abilities, and create a portfolio-ready artifact that contributes to King’s.
