Where we’ve been

A clear pathway to a strong job has never felt more out of reach

Our workforce is feeling the changes. Employers are searching for a durable and adaptable workforce, AI is reshaping how we work, what jobs exist and how employers hire, and working adults question how to get there, and if an investment in a college degree is worth it.

So we built something different.

Our mission is to increase long-term social and economic mobility for our students by clearing the path for them to earn a college degree.

Goal

Closed loop partnerships

Here’s how we’ll do it

We will build custom pathways with employers, creating a closed loop from degree to growing sectors in Education and Healthcare, where high-demand roles are here to stay.

Learn what employers need

We start with our partners to understand which roles are hard to fill, the skills that matter most, and where we can help close those gaps.

Land better jobs

Riveters move into stronger roles with more room to grow. What we learn from each job helps us serve the next Riveter.

Coach Riveters to get there

Through personalized college and career coaching, we’ll work hand in hand with each Riveter to build job-specific skills early.
