Youth career readiness is at a critical juncture and every day millions of young people struggle with preparing for their future. In the United States alone there is a 385:1 high school student-to-counselor ratio. CareerVillage.org is working to reverse this and strives to improve access to better and more equitable career outcomes.
On CareerVillage.org students are able to ask any question about any career and receive prompt responses from one of our +200,000 real working professionals who volunteer their time on the site. Students complete an easy and quick sign up and then are able to ask questions, set career goals, and create to do lists to develop concrete action plans to achieve their goals - all from a desktop or phone.
Advice is high quality and personalized to each student. Each question is answered by 1 to 10 to 100s of professionals and is made public so that other students can benefit from the questions their peers are asking. There are over 8,000 career topics represented on CareerVillage and this number grows daily! All content is geotagged allowing students to receive both nuanced localized guidance and new perspectives from professionals around the world.
In the past year CareerVillage celebrated a major milestone of having served over 7M unique online learners around the world.
