Pathways: They Make All the Difference...

Our diverse Pathways Initiatives are designed to equip NYC students with the skills, network, and experience to excel in their future careers. The traditional approach to career preparation often lacks hands-on experience, networking opportunities, and alignment with individual aspirations.

The Old Way

  • Limited career exploration.
  • Minimal practical experience.
  • Few networking opportunities.
  • Misalignment with personal aspirations.

The Pathway

  • Gain hands-on experience through internships and projects.
  • Build a professional network with mentors and industry leaders.
  • Access skill-building workshops aligned to your career aspirations.
  • Personalized support to help you navigate your unique journey.
