Baltimore’s Promise Launches Expanded Career Pathways Program

Last May, Baltimore’s Promise — a grantee of the Annie E. Casey Foun­da­tion — announced Career­Bound, the next phase of its long­stand­ing Grads2Careers pro­gram. This edu­ca­tion and tal­ent ini­tia­tive builds upon the suc­cess­es and lessons of the Grads2Careers com­mu­ni­ty and aims to help young peo­ple devel­op mar­ketable job skills and begin lucra­tive careers.

“Over the last six years, I’ve watched Grads2Careers make incred­i­ble progress in con­nect­ing high school grad­u­ates to careers,” said Sara Coop­er, a senior asso­ciate with the Casey Foun­da­tion. ​“Career­Bound is an excit­ing leap for­ward for this part­ner­ship and their col­lab­o­ra­tive efforts to build a school-to-career pipeline that works for both young peo­ple and employers.
