Gladeo

Description

• Gladeos mission is to inspire and help young people discover, navigate and achieve their dream careers by creating innovative multimedia content and distributing it through the web, social media and to guidance counselors in high schools. Gladeo won the Coaches award and the GG Society Fellowship at the 2017 Social Innovation Fast Pitch hosted by Social Ventures Partners Los Angeles. Studies show that early introduction of careers to students increases student engagement and decreases high school dropout rates. However, students from low-income neighborhoods have less career role models and career resources, so they heavily rely on their guidance counselors for career exploration. But these guidance counselors are stretched so thin. According to the California Department of Education, the student-to-counselor ratio is 945 to 1 and career counseling is merely one of their many responsibilities. So, how do these kids aspire to careers theyve never heard of? Gladeo has created an online portal (a Virtual Career Day) where guidance counselors and students can learn about the vast array of careers from our ever-growing library of content of videos, infographics and career profiles We interview working professionals to get first-hand, insider information. We also share stories of diverse individuals that these students can relate to, combating stereotypes to encourage all students, regardless of their background, to believe that success is also in their future, ALL in a fun, visually engaging way to effectively reach this young, digital native audience. Gladeo gives guidance counselors the resources they need to inspire and expose their students to the vast world of possibilities, not just the ones in their community and to empower their students to make informed decisions about their future. With an all-volunteer staff, we have reached over 200,000 students and 400 schools through social media and guidance counselors and feedback has been great.
