Launch Now

What if all our students had early access to hands-on learning opportunities before making life decisions after high school?

There is no single straight path to a meaningful career. And without exposure to the opportunities that exist, that path is harder to find. How can we ask kids and young adults to have career clarity when they don't even know their interests, their strengths, or what is possible?

With this in mind, Launch Now plays an important role in providing a safe, streamlined platform for students to connect with local businesses for work-based learning opportunities. Our innovative platform compiles community educational resources and self-generated student data to form these meaningful connections. Schools use this tool to match students with hands-on opportunities to explore their professional interests in the real world. And by providing these opportunities, local businesses are encouraging a talent pool of motivated applicants.

I wish I had this when my kids were growing up. My daughter is not your typical learner and needed the experience to help her figure out a career path.”

This is so important. The impact of a powerful, meaningful connection for a student can change the trajectory of their whole life.”

For Students

Launch Now acts as a guide for students to record and explore their goals and interests as they grow. From this data, they are presented with tailored career options and customized, local opportunities to gain real-world experience. With this long-term tool, learners can take their time exploring a career path before they even graduate.

For Parents

In addition to providing students with the tools to independently explore their interests and potential career opportunities, Launch Now also offers a Parent Portal. Through this portal, parents are able to view the progress and saved opportunities of their students.

For Educators

Our platform makes it easy to uniformly record and store your student's unique social and professional resumes. You'll be able to quickly assess and connect them to vetted businesses in your community so they can make informed plans for their lives beyond high school.
