Pathways to Excellence: Career Readiness Program

Our Pathways to Excellence Career Readiness Program is designed to equip first-generation college students and high school youth with the skills, exposure, and confidence they need to thrive in college, careers, and life. Rooted in our Circle of Success model, we mentor students from middle school through postsecondary education and into the workforce—supporting their growth every step of the way.

Through ongoing mentorship, monthly check-ins, career inventories, college tours, internships, workforce readiness training, and financial literacy, our students gain critical tools to navigate their futures with clarity and purpose. We partner with businesses, law firms, and community organizations to provide real-world experiences that help students explore professions, develop leadership skills, and build professional networks.

From goal-setting and self-discovery to career exploration and professional preparation, Pathways to Excellence ensures our student champs are not only dreaming big—but are prepared to achieve those dreams.
