Launchpad is a new initiative from Building 21 that seeks to directly connect young people to living-wage paying jobs that offer upwardly mobile career opportunities, while providing them with the credentials, skills, mindsets, and experience to thrive in these roles. The students we seek to partner with are those in the “middle” – not on a clear track for a four year college but also not in need of significant academic remediation. Vision: Realize the equitable distribution of opportunity for young people.
Bring together networks of students, high schools, post-secondary institutions, and employers to co-create new pathways for young people that lead to good jobs in growing industries.
By integrating career-connected learning, authentic work experiences, and the development of “Future Ready” skills, Launchpad will harness the power of connected networks of schools and employers to prepare students to thrive as they transition into full-time work. Building 21 Background:
