EMPOWERING TOMORROW'S WORKFORCE

We help Metro Detroit students pursue their dreams and build the skills they need to succeed in their careers, families, and communities. Our seven-year Workforce Prep Mentoring Program starts in 10th grade and continues through four years of college, trade school, or other education programs. Each student is paired with a volunteer career mentor from the business community who attends one-hour sessions with students and provides them with guidance, encouragement, and real-world insights. Students explore career paths, build life and job skills, participate in workshops, attend college and career tours, and create personalized academic and career plans. We also support our continuing education students with scholarships and emergency funds to help them stay on track.

OUR STUDENTS | OUR MENTORS

We empower high school and college students to achieve the life they dream of through our seven-year workforce prep and mentoring programs.

Our career mentors are local business professionals who leave a lasting impact on students across Metro Detroit. They help students figure out what they will do after high school and learn the life, job readiness, and strategic planning skills they will need to be successful.

Since 1994 we have impacted over 50,500 students and awarded over $2.2 million in scholarships.
