Academic Acceleration
This critical support will bring together our commitment to literacy through enhancing academic readiness, career exposure, and life skills development for rising 9ᵗʰ graders through 12ᵗʰ grade — and post graduation.
Alumni Track, Stackable Credentials
The alumni track, within Grads2Careers, allows program graduates in certain pathways to pursue additional post-secondary education and stackable credentials for increased wage potential.
Coordinated Resources
CareerBound integrates career readiness, soft skills programming, and wrap-around supports to ensure students are well-prepared for training and employment. The cohesive network will cater to the diverse needs of the youth and young adult population.
