What Makes Career Foundations Different

Our straightforward Teacher Facilitation Guide makes it easy for anyone to lead the curriculum. With ready-to-use scripts and lesson plans aligned to educational standards, you can confidently leave the program in the hands of a substitute or a parent!

We’re Back to Basics

Physical workbooks enhance learning by encouraging active engagement, helping students absorb information more effectively without the distractions of digital devices.

Mindset Infused Throughout

Success is more than just acquiring skills; it’s about cultivating a strong mindset. Each curriculum integrates mindset and manifestation techniques, emphasizing that vision, belief, attitude, and focus are just as vital as experience and skillset in achieving success.

Created by Industry Experts

Co-founded by former executives from Google, Twitter, and Apple, our programs leverage insights from tech veterans, educators, subject matter experts, and instructional designers. We utilize real workplace scenarios to focus on what truly matters for career success, ensuring our education is practical and impactful.
