Why I built this

Hi, I'm Michelle Keefe, CEO of MomUp.

95% of the job seekers I speak with have never heard of returnship programs. These are paid 12 to 16 week programs at over 110 major US companies, designed specifically for professionals returning after a career break. They convert participants to full-time roles 80% of the time. They pay an average of $46 an hour.

And almost no one knows they exist.

I built this directory to fix that, and to give people an honest framework for telling a real returnship from a predatory one. Because not every program is a good deal, and the difference matters.
