From Classroom to Career,
every step of the way.
Avenue Scholars works with young people at a pivotal moment in life – the end of high school and the beginning of everything else. Through one-on-one coaching and comprehensive support, we ensure Scholars leave our program with not just a job, but a stable, fulfilling career.
We guide Scholars through every phase of the journey
High School
Our Career Coaches, embedded in the schools, work with Scholars during their last two years of high school, helping them build a strong foundation for their future.
Career Training
Scholars pursue associate degrees, technical
certifications, and hands-on training in high-wage, high-demand fields — with individualized coaching at every turn.
Career Entry
The journey doesn’t end with a first job. We work with Scholars for up to six months after they land their first job, providing support while they find their place in the workforce.
A guarantee, not just a hope
We all face challenges at the start of our careers. We make sure our Scholars never have to face them alone.
We equip them with the skills, training, and resources to meet the professional world with confidence. Our goal? Guide them to in-demand careers that offer a high wage and benefits.
They don’t open the door for you, but they put the door in front of you, and they teach you how to open it.
