Mentoring
Our mentoring programs target two groups: high school students 14-17 and individuals returning from incarceration and entering/re-entering the workforce. Mentoring increases the chances of job retention and high school graduation. Our mentors provide support and positive role modeling for participants facing new challenges, life transitions, and career decisions. These mutually beneficial relationships drive learning and development for both mentors and mentees.

Our job developers specialize in understanding each employer’s unique requirements and preparing candidates with the needed skills and qualifications. PathStone also creates sector partnerships to prepare qualified candidates for multiple employers within an industry. PathStone provides business and employer services at no charge.
