CareerFear

Careers resources and opportunities for students who lack access to them.

What is CareerFear?

In underserved communities, high school students lack careers departments and counselling at their school, and struggle to get access to internships and work experience. This puts them at an enormous disadvantage when competing for jobs, university spots, and more, and only has a snowball effect keeping them behind in life. More broadly, high school students around the world often face familial and societal pressures, and make pivotal careers decisions misinformed. At CareerFear, we’re trying to help solve these problems to empower hidden talent around the world.
