Career and College Readiness
Our Career and College Readiness programs assist youth in transitioning from adolescence to adulthood with the necessary abilities, skills, and mindsets to navigate life’s opportunities and challenges.

Why
Today’s youth need the essential skills and abilities to be ready for work and life. Yet, many youth face uncertainty about their future. Young people need support in navigating life’s challenges and potential pathways for their future. As technology advances and industries evolve, new skills will be required to meet our country’s greatest challenges. Investing in opportunities that help young people build real-world skills will be incredibly important.
Intended Outcomes
Career and College Readiness is where youth gain skills to help them be ready for work and ready for life, by intentionally exploring different types of life pathways and engaging with people and places that can help them on their path to the workforce, university, military, technical college, or trade school.
