Connecting Students, Universities, and Industry to Build the Future Workforce
Most students choose a college major with little real exposure and it’s costing them years and thousands in debt.
We help students make confident, informed career decisions early
The Missing Link in Career Readiness
Most students are expected to make life changing decisions about their future between the ages of 16–19.
But the part of the brain responsible for decision making, long term planning, and identity development is still developing during this time.
Without real world exposure, students often choose career paths based on pressure, limited information, or guesswork.
Career Connects bridges this gap by combining career exploration, mentorship, and performance based support helping students make confident, informed decisions that align with who they are and where they’re going.
Data & Research
Why this matters now
Most students are making one of the most expensive decisions of their lives more than once
Changing college majors often leads to increased student debt by extending graduation timelines and requiring additional tuition for credits that do not transfer. Combined with rising tuition and interest rates, these decisions can significantly increase the total cost of a degree and delay major financial milestones like homeownership.
Nearly 70% of jobs require postsecondary education or training
At least 30–50% of students change their major
Many systems lack access to long-term workforce outcome data
Students are making high-stakes decisions with limited visibility into their future
