What it does

ReLaunch is an AI career re-entry coach for women returning to tech after a career break. Users provide their previous experience, a target job, information about their career break, and how much time they can realistically spend preparing each week. ReLaunch compares their existing skills with the target role and organizes them into three groups: Ready, Refresh, and Learn. It then creates a practical re-entry plan based on the user's available time and provides guidance for discussing a career break in interviews. Instead of treating a career break as starting over, ReLaunch helps users understand what experience they already have and what they actually need to work on before applying again.

Are women the primary users, and how does that show

Yes. ReLaunch is designed specifically for women returning to work after career breaks such as parental leave or caregiving. A career break can make it difficult to know whether previous skills are still relevant, what has changed in the industry, and how to prepare for returning while balancing other responsibilities. We designed ReLaunch around these challenges. Users can describe their career-break context and how much preparation time they have each week. ReLaunch separates skills that only need refreshing from skills that need to be learned, instead of treating everything as a gap. It also creates a realistic preparation plan and helps users explain their career break in interviews based on their actual experience. The goal is to help women return to tech without feeling that they have to restart their careers from zero.
