To scale student mobility, the most impactful experiential learning activity is having students proactively building relationships with alumni and employers of interest.
Guidance, motivation, and accountability are required ingredients to teaching students how to have the agency to create these relationships, while building their career readiness and career navigation skills in the process.
Some of the Learning Outcomes include: curiosity, self-reflection, initiative, communication skills, and relationship-building skills.

Faculty/staff certification
A transformative training centered on driving student mobility. It’s a 4-hour, live certification that includes continued access to resources for facilitation and instruction, as well as ongoing community and support.
One of the eight Learning Outcomes is understanding the importance of the intersectionality of the NACE Career Readiness Competencies, AAC&U’s Essential Learning Outcomes, Strada’s Quality Coaching Principles, and Dr. Raj Chetty’s research on social capital and economic mobility.
Career Readiness Inventories
Our Career Readiness Inventories for college students and high school students were built in partnership with the National Association of Colleges and Employers and the Gates Foundation, respectively.
Students reflect on the skills and experiences employers value most. Institutional partners are provided with robust data analytics, dashboards, and reports of student’s career readiness, social capital, life design mindsets, and career mobility best practices.
Backed by research.
Tested by >80k students over 15 years.
Career Launch's methodology and curriculum has been developed based on the leading research around student mobility and economic opportunity.

NACE Career Readiness Competencies + Career Mobility Best Practices
“The Career Launch certification training was a motivating and inspiring experience. What I loved about the training was that it went step-by-step into how we can implement, how to use the tools, and the student videos were incredibly memorable and motivating. I definitely would recommend this program to anyone investing in students and their career journeys.”
