Andre J. Castillo

Andre J. Castillo is the author of Career Talk: Everything You Need to Know to Have a Great Career, co-host of the CareerTech podcast, and the owner of goodmorning.work and careermavin.com. He was inspired to work in career development from his Mexican-American father, who grew up in Los Angeles so poor that for one birthday his “cake” was a piece of toast with a candle on it, and who didn’t know what he wanted to be when he grew up until one Christmas day when police officers came to his house - to give him a toy car. That example led to Andre’s father becoming a police officer and lifting himself, and his family, out of poverty - an experience Andre wishes to share with others.

Previously Andre led the U.S. federal government’s flagship career development program, MyCareer@VA, a program that has trained more than 2 million people to advance their careers and was Harvard’s 2012 Bright Idea award winner for its groundbreaking webbased approach to career development. Andre has received numerous accolades in his professional and academic career, including being featured as a national success story by the U.S. federal government for his efforts to improve generational diversity in the federal government. Andre has also received a Public Service Recognition Award, a Presidential Management Fellowship (PMF), and numerous scholarships and public speaking awards.

Andre has led and consulted for some of the U.S. federal government’s best career training programs and was interviewed for his work supporting recent college graduates by Federal News Radio.

Andre’s public speaking efforts began when he was just 15 years old, and since then he has earned public speaking awards at the local, national, and international levels.
