Are you ready to take control of your future and achieve your dream career this summer? We are dedicated to empowering students to excel in their future endeavors by focusing on two areas. The first is helping students find direction for their lives, and the second is providing them with insightful guidance and support to navigate their STEM career choices. Our mission is to ensure that students are well-prepared and confident as they transition from high school to their next chapter. In the United States, many high school graduates are unsure of their next steps. They often leave school without a clear understanding of what they want to achieve or how to pursue their goals. This uncertainty can lead to unfulfilling career choices and a lack of direction. We aim to change this narrative by offering comprehensive career preparation material to students. Our career preparation material and support will empower students to make informed decisions about their future.

There is a lot of discussion here on LinkedIn about the challenges that graduate students face as they head out into non-academic careers. Ali Divan, Ph.D. and I are publishing an article this Friday that describes the specific challenges in more detail, but more importantly, discusses what we can do to help solve this problem. Most of all, we want to connect with graduate school deans, as they are the ones who can enable the change. Please share this post and watch for the article on Friday. And if you are a graduate school dean, let's talk. Together we can make a difference.

Graduate school deans seem to understand the challenges that graduate trainees face in professional transitions better than anyone. Among those challenges are finding specialized professional training services that go beyond the scope of career centers, and produce tangible results. This Friday, I will be publishing an article co-authored by me and David Giltner highlighting the problem, the landscape, and the practical, collaborative solutions we propose to solve it.
