A new year round initiative from Nawlage Is Power
Tampa Pathways to Career Access connects youth with professionals, businesses, mentors, organizations, and real-world experiences that introduce them to careers, skills, and opportunities beyond the classroom.
Your support helps create meaningful career-access opportunities for Tampa youth.
A young person can't pursue a career they don't know exists.
Many students may never have the opportunity to meet a professional, visit a workplace, explore an unfamiliar industry, or experience what a career is really like.
Tampa Pathways to Career Access helps change that.
Through career exploration, mentorship, community partnerships, hands on experiences, and workforce readiness activities, we help young people discover possibilities and begin thinking about their own pathway forward.
Connect young people with professionals who can share their experiences, knowledge, and career journeys.
Introduce youth to industries, careers, and opportunities they may never have considered.
Give young people opportunities to learn by doing and experience careers beyond the classroom.
Help youth develop skills, confidence, and awareness that can support their future success.
Create meaningful connections between young people, businesses, mentors, organizations, and community leaders.
Help young people envision a future and recognize that there are many pathways to get there.
A conversation with a professional could spark a career.
A workplace experience could turn curiosity into a goal.
A mentor could give a young person the confidence to pursue something they once thought was out of reach.
A hands on experience could help a student discover a talent they didn't know they had.
Your support helps create those moments.
Tampa Pathways to Career Access is a year-round initiative designed to connect young people with career exploration, workforce experiences, professionals, businesses, mentors, and resources.
We believe career access begins long before a young person enters the workforce.
It begins with exposure, connection, encouragement, and opportunity.
Businesses and professionals have an important role in helping young people understand the world of work.
Your organization can support career access by:
Sponsoring youth experiences
Sharing your career or industry
Hosting students
Providing mentorship
Offering hands-on learning opportunities
Donating resources or services
Supporting the program financially
Become a Career Access Partner
Help us create more opportunities for Tampa youth to explore careers, build skills, meet professionals, and discover pathways toward their future.
