CREATE ·2024 Grants ChallengeGrowing Networks and Landing Jobs!
First-generation and low-income (FGLI) students often lack the information and social capital necessary to fully realize their career potential. This results in chronic underemployment despite their education and massive potential that would add significant value to our labor market here in Los Angeles. That is why we created CareerSpring: a FREE resource for FGLI Angelenos to learn about career paths, network with professionals, and apply for employment. Our resources are free and scalable and any FGLI student in LA can sign up!

From First Gen to First Job
First-generation and low-income (FGLI) students often lack the information and social capital necessary to fully understand their career possibilities and identify job opportunities. This results in chronic underemployment despite their education and massive potential that would add significant value to our labor market. That is why we created CareerSpring: a FREE resource for FGLI students across the country and now in Los Angeles to learn about careers, gain career prep skills, network with professionals, and apply for internships and jobs.
