Career & Pathways Discovery Package

Ideal for

Seniors and their families who are weighing their options and aren't sure if a traditional four-year college is the right next step. This package provides a structured environment to explore trade schools, gap years, certificate programs, or direct career entry, ensuring the student has a concrete plan for "Day 1" after graduation.

What’s included

This package includes ten one-on-one advising sessions, each lasting 55 minutes, focused on self-discovery and tactical planning. It includes personalized career assessments and administrative support to navigate non-collegiate applications and deadlines.

• ✓Personalized Strengths & Career Mapping: We use professional interest inventories and personality assessments to identify high-satisfaction career paths tailored to the student's unique skills.
• ✓The "Alternative" Shortlist: We build a strategic list of 5–7 actionable options, which may include technical schools, reputable gap year programs, apprenticeships, or specialized associate degrees.
• ✓Professional Brand Building: We go beyond a basic resume, building a professional portfolio that includes a LinkedIn profile, a master resume, and a cover letter template for job or program applications.
• ✓"College as an Option" Strategy: For students who are 50/50 on college, we assist with a limited safety application process to ensure the door remains open while they explore other paths.
• ✓Interview Coaching & Networking: Two dedicated sessions on professional communication, including mock interviews for jobs or program admissions.
• ✓Financial Literacy & ROI Analysis: A clear-eyed look at the costs of various paths versus starting salaries, including guidance on vocational grants, trade scholarships, or entry-level budgeting.
• ✓Post-Graduation Roadmap: A finalized First Year Plan that outlines specific milestones for the 12 months following high school graduation to ensure momentum isn't lost.
