GUIDING STUDENTS ON THEIR PATHS TO CAREER SUCCESS

Discover What You Are Naturally Good At

Mentored Pathways takes your interests and aptitudes seriously. We've teamed up with YouScience, a leader in aptitude testing and industry certifications.
With one on one mentor support you'll be able to fully leverage your aptitude results and choose certifications that fit
your goals. As you explore opportunities based on your aptitudes and interests your future options increase dramatically.

Get Connected

Mentored Pathways helps you learn how to develop, implement, invest in and leverage a professional
network. These professionals will help you create and get traction with career plans that are personal and powerful.
By being connected you'll avoid isolation and have real support to pursue your interests.

Develop a Portfolio, Plan and Network

To succeed you must be connected to the professionals who have blazed the trail ahead of you. You start
these connections by tackling real issues these professionals care about. Now you're ready to add this work to a professional
portfolio, create a career plan that holds water and develop a professional network simultaneously. Having these three assets
in place puts you miles ahead.

Our mission is to ensure that students graduate equipped with three important assets:
