We're CareerVillage. We use technology to prepare students for their first job. Youth unemployment in America is the highest it has been since WWII. And it’s not hard to see why… Young people are not developing the skills employers are looking for. We have developed a web application that makes preparing for employment fun.
We're an early stage social venture founded by two McKinsey alumni. We've worked with some of the best educators in the country including KIPP, Achievement First, and The Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship. We're backed by employers across the nation who are looking for better ways to reach students. Join us as we work to make our vision for America into a reality.
