About 2 million "launchpad jobs" (entry-level roles that can set young people up for long-term success) sit open today.

In this article, our very own Judy Goldstein, unpacks why so many youth miss out on these positions and what it takes to land one.

College & career readiness are often treated as separate paths, but students need both woven into instruction, advising, & real-world learning throughout their education rather than a single senior-year meeting.

Happy National Intern Day! 🎉

Internships change lives, but 79% of high schoolers who want work-based learning don't know where to find it.

Our very own Liz Texeira dives into why access shouldn't be a privilege & MA's new 400-intern #AI pilot. ➡️ https://t.co/19aRvjFinZ

Every student deserves access to career-connected learning, but teens in rural communities often face barriers to these opportunities, such as long travel distances.

That's why we're proud to support organizations that are closing this gap. ➡️ https://t.co/GaGFefRa7R

It was wonderful having the Massachusetts STEM Advisory Council meet in Britebound's office located in downtown Boston, MA!

Here's to building the next generation of #STEM talent! 💪

There’s something powerful about a room filled with possibility—when community comes together with purpose, hope is shared, and young people are reminded that their dreams matter.

Honored to partner with the Golden State Valkyries for our Dream Workshop, powered by @Britebound, to create a space where inspiration met opportunity. Together, we encouraged the next generation to dream boldly, trust their voices, and embrace the limitless potential within them.

Grateful to our incredible partners for helping make this day possible and for dreaming forward with us: @curyj510 @hiddengeniuspro @young_women_free @communityworksw @EOakCollective

School counselors drive career readiness but are stretched thin. Britebound surveyed 600 K-12 counselors w/ #ASCA for our report, "Guiding the Way."

One key finding: 93% say career specialist collaboration helps, but only 45% of high schools have one.
