Our Mission

NextGen Talent’s mission is to boost the enrollment of low-income students and students of color in postsecondary programs that lead to well-paying careers. To do this, we partner with college access+success organizations, high schools, and support organizations to deliver innovative career-related services that begin in high school and continue through college to that all-important good first job.

For Too Many Students, a College Education Isn’t Paying Off.

Low-income college graduates earn 50 cents to every dollar earned by middle-income graduates over their lifetime, worsening the racial wealth gap and discouraging enrollment in postsecondary education. LEARN MORE

I wish I had NextGen Talent’s tools when I was in high school to help me better understand what kinds of jobs I could get with certain college majors – and their salaries in this region. I feel like I was robbed because I didn’t.
