Episode Description
College students and their families often spend a small fortune investing in education, with the intention of giving the loved one a good start and base on which to launch a successful career. Yet, having a clear career path and strategic approach to building a college curriculum and career plan is lacking for many college-bound students. Worse, many soon-to-graduate seniors still have no idea what kind of work they might ideally pursue, despite graduating with a major. Employing the advice and counsel from a youth career coach is a direction more and more families are using to give their youth the best start to their lives they can. In this episode, we talk with a business and leadership professional who focuses on helping youth and college students make informed choices and intentionally set the direction of their careers, right from the start.
