Student Career Path

Entering high school can be a challenging time for students, but perhaps more challenging is thinking about what they will do once they graduate.  It is never too early to start thinking about your future. JobPIN's JumpSTART program uses a balanced approach to aligning students' educational goals to future post-secondary education choices and career opportunities.

JobPIN’s JumpSTART Program provides career counseling, job preparation, mentoring, and soft skills training to high school and college students.  In addition, JobPIN engages with state/local leadership and school faculty to strengthen relationships with K-12, higher education, and corporations in order to create equity in the labor market.

Get clear on who you want to be

JumpSTART helps students identify their natural strengths and pinpoint their interests in certain academic subjects to better align themselves to future career interests.  The program guides students through four (4) phases to help them gain better awareness of the opportunities in the job market and to create curiosity around the "possibilities".  JobPIN's Immersion phase is designed to provide students with hands-on workplace experiences coupled with strategic mentoring in order to improve students' career choice preparedness and engagement in career planning activities.

  • Phase 1: Orientation
  • Phase 2: Discovery
  • Phase 3: Immersion
  • Phase 4: Alignment

Your network is your net worth

Recent studies have shown that more than 70% of professionals land jobs at companies where they already have a "connection".  Networking is not just about getting business cards, it's about building your brand, discovering synergies, increasing your value through collaboration, and expanding your reach in the job market.  Let your resume and your reputation work for you. JobPIN helps students get connected, stay "locked in" and create their footprint in the professional world.

  • Get access to proven strategies and tips for networking
  • Be invited to special JobPIN networking events, exclusively for college students

Connecting Purpose to Business

The new generation entering the workforce today is quite different from the Baby Boomers. Instead of job security and a great pension, they are more interested in company culture, diversity, recognition and work-life balance.  The available job search engines are not matching those types of intangible preferences.  

More importantly, businesses are depending more and more on automated systems and AI to create efficiencies in their workflows, including recruiting. As a result, some of the best talent often won't make the interview roster because their resume failed to use the right buzz words. By strengthening relationships with the business community, facilitating strategic conversations and asking the right questions, JobPIN is able to be the bridge between what employers need in terms of talent and what jobseekers value as it relates to purpose. We connect Human Capital with Opportunity!
