For parents

Give them experiences before they make expensive decisions.

Choosing a college, technical program, certification, or career path can mean years of time and thousands of dollars. Before asking your son or daughter to commit, help them experience the world they're considering.

What an Intro gives your child

  • A real conversation with someone doing the work today
  • A look at the actual environment, pace and people
  • Honest answers about pay, training and trade-offs
  • Space to change their mind before it gets expensive
  • Their own conviction, instead of yours or a counselor's

How it works for families

You can submit and pay for the Intro yourself. If the participant is under 18, the form collects parent or guardian details and your consent, and a parent or guardian is welcome at the introduction.

We personally research and contact professionals in your area. An Intro is a career-exploration experience — it isn't an internship, apprenticeship, job offer or admission of any kind, and we never promise an outcome we can't control.
