Through paid internships, students gain valuable work experience, exposure to real-world challenges and access to supportive adults and mentors who guide them along their career journey.
Students receive college and career coaching during their internships, including assistance with college selection and applications, certification training and placement, and financial aid.

Our alumni are obtaining their degrees in 150% of time at 2.5X the rate of their peer group (per NSC data).
Per our alumni survey, 68% of alumni who are 7+ years out of the program are earning more than at least one parent, showing the lasting impact our students’ experiences and skills create.
