About Career Beginnings
We believe that all young people should view college as an attainable goal.
Since 1986 the mission of Career Beginnings has been to increase the percentage of Hartford-area students who graduate from high school and go directly into college and on to fulfilling careers. Career Beginnings provides workshops, one-on-one advising and mentoring to students in Hartford, Bloomfield and East Hartford public schools.
In our twenty-five year history 92% of Career Beginnings graduates have gone directly to college after high school, on average.
