Grads 2 Careers CCBC works in partnership with the Grads2Careers program supporting Baltimore Youth with career planning and training opportunities. Grads2Careers serves Youth between the ages of 18-21 who graduated from a Baltimore City High School or hold a GED and live in Baltimore City.

This training not only includes hard skills training, but also soft skills training to enhance a student's computer and financial literacy, academic abilities, and career preparation skills.

Grad2Careers (G2C) is a partnership of Baltimore City Public Schools, the Mayor's Office of Employment Development, and the nonprofit collective impact organization, Baltimore's Promise. This idea was birthed with a purpose to establish a pathway for recent Baltimore City Public School graduates (who are not planning to enter college full-time within the next year) into career-track jobs in growing industries, on the path to a family-supporting wage.
