What We Do
We are dedicated to preparing young people for life-career success by developing essential interpersonal and employability skills and reducing the number of students that fall off after graduation and are instead on viable career pathways.
Workforce Development
Creating a successful Workforce Initiative Program requires a multilevel buy-in from schools, businesses, and community partners that unite under the combined interest of what we call “workforce creation.” Workforce creation is not about job placement and filling entry-level roles; it’s about creating a new workforce through in-school and in-business innovation. Sadly, most workforce programs are unsuccessful.
We Provide:
Workforce Building and Development
An instruction manual for running a successful workforce initiative of your own.
Workforce Development Consulting
Limited engagement based on the need of the district or nonprofit.
Workforce Creation
Working side-by-side with you and your team to create a successful workforce program.
Here is an example of what we did for Career Quest with Little Miami High School

One of life’s most challenging questions, “What do you want to do when you grow up,” is posed to kids from an early age to high school. Yet how many of our kids have the comprehensive learning opportunities to truly explore how to pick a career path? What is it that will help them succeed?
