Courses to Careers (C2C)

Courses to Careers (C2C) helps young adults successfully advance along their career pathway as they complete post-secondary education. The goal of the program is to help unemployed or underemployed young adults who are either within 9 months of graduation or recently graduated find employment relevant to their studies. The program takes a multi-faceted approach by connecting each participant with a local employer for paid work experience while also providing access to studio BE, an online wellness platform. We believe by helping each participant practice mindfulness while they transition full-time into the workforce that they will have the skills and tools they need to be successful. We also believe it’s important to bridge the gap between local employers and a robust talent pool of young professionals seeking to explore career opportunities in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
