Discovering Purpose Through Career Exploration
At Mapping Up, our Career Exploration Program is a week-long immersive experience designed to help young individuals uncover their passions and define a clear path for their future. In just seven days, participants dive into hands-on experiences, company visits, and mentoring sessions with professionals from various industries. The goal? To empower students to make informed career decisions while gaining practical insights into real-world opportunities.
A Life-Changing Visit to Prescient Edge
One of the highlights of this summer’s program was a visit to Prescient Edge in Virginia. During this visit, participants had the unique opportunity to meet CEO Alex Granados, whose passion for innovation and commitment to service left a profound impact on everyone present. For one participant, this encounter became a turning point in their career journey.
From Inspiration to Action: A Participant’s Story
During the visit, Alex shared his personal story, emphasizing the importance of leadership, resilience, and contributing to a greater cause. His words resonated deeply with one of our participants, who was exploring career options but hadn’t yet found a clear direction. Inspired by Alex’s dedication and values, this participant realized that a career in the military would align perfectly with his desire to make a meaningful impact.
How the Program Helped Shape His Path
Following the visit, our participant felt a newfound sense of clarity and purpose. Motivated by Alex’s example, he decided to apply to the Air Force Academy, seeing it as a path where he could develop leadership skills and contribute to a greater cause. In his application essay, he even referenced Alex as a role model for the type of leader he aspires to become.
