Career Pathways
 With generous support from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, David and Helen B. Kaplan Fund, and Beatrice Fox Auerbach Foundation, we are launching our new Career Pathways program, designed to help students reach their academic, employment, and career goals.
Through our language, digital, and job readiness programs, we have successfully helped many students earn their high school diplomas, enter job training programs, enroll in community college, and find jobs. Career Pathways will enhance our programs with professional career counseling, employer partnerships, mentoring, and internships. Lots more to follow on this exciting addition to our programming.
