We want you to succeed, starting with freshman year internships.

Transforming career planning

We’re a group of senior-level business and human resources professionals on a mission to help students achieve early career success by developing and providing the best career prep program possible.

As the odds of realizing an economic return on college fall, the importance of finding a solution that enables students to unlock their career potential is greater than ever. This is the problem we solve for, and the results may surprise you.

With an early start

What we discovered isn’t rocket science. It’s actually quite simple. Students who start to focus on building experience and job-finding skills early are more likely to find internships, giving them a real career advantage.

By using technology to match students with career paths and the curriculum they need, we can efficiently and effectively help motivated students achieve their objective.
