Overview
The Innovative Teen Career Pathways addresses the critical gap between high school education and workforce entry by focusing on industry-certified teens. We prepare these young individuals for both remote and in-person high-need jobs in healthcare, technology, construction, hospitality and entertainment sectors.
What if high achieving teens and scholar athletes had a secure, one-stop shop for their online portfolios – covering exemplary school projects, volunteer service, and industry certifications? TeenCV is the clearinghouse your teen can send recruiters and potential bosses. TeenCV solves the dilemma in one place, gamifying use with discounts from companies like Five Below, Herff Jones, Office Depot and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
LinkedIn does not amplify volunteer service and leadership, nor does it gamify use – teens are already documenting a lot of their activities socially. We want to have them do so in a way that benefits their future!
