Get Started As A Student

Prepare Your Students for a Global Future

Join Our Summer 2026 Cohort Today

Are your students looking for opportunities to earn credentials this summer?

Open Mindset's Summer 2026 Cohort will run May 15-August 31.

We appreciate that you need to plan and so do we. We're seeking commitment from institutions by April 15; space is limited, so the sooner you get in touch the better. We do have scholarships available and materials to help you get the word out to students. If you’re interested in learning more, reach out to our Founder Stacie Berdan at Founder@openmindsetproject.org.

Our vision is to prepare students and recent grads to develop the global mindset they need to succeed in the global workforce. We believe our approach is unique in that it combines online learning content and one-on-one mentorship.

We know that, especially today, higher ed can benefit from additional support. Students need to develop skills critical to succeed in the changing job market and many of these skills can be challenging to teach on campus.

We are open to creative ways your institution may want to partner with us; we're doing our best to meet you where you are. Here’s a quick step-by-step to get started.

Step 1

If you’re interested, send an email to Open Mindset Project Founder Stacie Berdan Founder@openmindsetproject.org indicating which cohort you're interested in.

Step 2

Stacie will follow up to schedule a meeting to discuss your goals and the process to make it happen. We'll need to sign an MOU, which we know will take some time on your end.

Step 3

You will be granted access to the Open Mindset dashboard, where you will invite students at the start of the cohort and can monitor their progress throughout.  

Step 4

Students alternate between the 4 online modules and meeting 1:1 with their mentor 4 times over the course of the academic term.

Step 5

Students fulfill the requirements and are awarded an Open Mindset Certificate.
