The next step after high school or college can feel uncertain, especially for young people without ready access to professional networks, career coaching, or mentors who can help them navigate the process.
FUTURO Career Pathways is helping to close the career-readiness gap with a free, virtual career-readiness program
designed for first-generation and underserved students.
The program is open to students and young adults ages 17 and older, including high school seniors, college and technical school students, recent graduates, and those preparing for a career change. Because the training is online and self-paced, participants can complete it around school, work, and family responsibilities.
FUTURO Career Pathways prepares students for college-to-career success with a clear, virtual, guided pathway using engaging videos, valuable resources, and personalized to fit an array of career paths. The all-inclusive program provides pathways to learn from helping students discover who they are and exploring their interests, guiding them to a job or career of their dreams.

and improve their economic mobility through its three core pillars of success
LEAD. SERVE. CONNECT.
"As a leader, you are a role model to the people around you. You support your peers to support a shared goal."
“I can never say enough how much FUTURO has been a part of my story and success.”
"FUTURO has united me with a familia and empowered me to become an exceptional leader for my community."
“[FUTURO helped me] refine my interviewing skills by teaching me how to capitalize on my skills and understand my worth.”
“A speaker inspired me to truly look at our roots so we can be the best at what we do while being the most authentic we can be.”
“FUTURO helped me find my professional identity and how to present it to others.”

FUTURO believes in creating a strong workforce. We root ourselves in the value of “community.” Through our community — alumni, leaders, professional mentors, partners and volunteers — students gain access to the skills, support, and opportunities they need to build self-confidence and improve their economic mobility.
