“Bringing more companies and organizations with job opportunities to campus requires a lot of resources. The Career Launch Academy helps us scale our impact by empowering students to be proactive and accountable for their job search.
This is a game-changer for career services, and for students who don't have much social capital.”
Raine Hambly, Director of Career Technical Education
North Orange County Community College District
“I believe we have a serious problem with students who graduate with a degree and/or certificate, but cannot find employment in their field of study.
Developing a network of professional relationships in one's field of interest is one of the keys that can break the cycle. This is exactly what the Career Launch programming brings to our students, directly and through our career counselors.”

“As the career resource coordinator for our school I have witnessed how the Career Launch Academy has been an instrumental program to our students. Many of them have landed jobs in the field of their choice and some have been able to enter a graduate program.
I am so happy to have this program available to our students because I see the benefits. I see how their confidence levels have increased as well as their interviewing skills and the way they network.”
