ABOUT US

We are committed to closing the gap between education and business by creating career opportunities though supportive relationships, individualized coaching, and training.

MISSION, VISION, VALUES

We believe the strength of our workforce depends on who we let in, not who we leave out.

Every student has hopes and dreams for their future. But life challenges often get in the way and prevent them from staying on course to reach those desired opportunities.


We've created a program with curriculum targeted at holistically preparing students for meaningful careers in high-demand industries such as healthcare, information technology, automotive and transportation, trades and manufacturing, and business processes. We work with students to remove as many barriers as possible and illuminate possibility in their lives.

Our core values.
