- Career exploration is challenging, irrespective of age. It's especially tough for high schoolers right now._ _Most young people are not sure what they want to do after graduating high school. Many have only limited exposure to the range of possibilities they could pursue after graduating. They're increasingly skeptical of traditional higher ed options, and alternative paths are unclear.
- We believe that building your future is more than just about finding a job._ The starting point does not have a single trajectory; it involves developing different skills over time and combining them in different ways. _FutureShock_ _is designed to enable students to work on cool projects and find people to support and challenge them, all while making sense of how what they're learning and doing might set them up for the future.
