Students are faced with disappointment, unemployment, underemployment, and excessive student loan debt upon graduation day. Career readiness for the real world isn't possible when the student-to-counselor ratio is 500:1 and actionable alumni data isn't readily available for students or university staff.
Steppingblocks was founded first to produce skilled, confident, workforce-ready graduates and second to augment institutional success through data-driven tools.
The concept for Steppingblocks begins with only the coffee-stained drawing on the right, 5,000 alumni profiles and a mission to help students make data-driven decisions with the digital career counselor.
