Creating Generational ProsperityÂ
is Our Top Priority
We know the frustration of seeing entry-level jobs remain unfilled while industries struggle to find qualified entry-level workers. What they may not realize is that there is an untapped sustainable resource within reach, a qualified workforce hiding in plain sight.
We can show you what it is and where to start.
At Specialized Career Guidance (SCG), a workforce pipeline development consultancy, we train high schools and organizations how to access the untapped pool of entry-level talent that exists in our high schools.
Our goal is to help you recruit and retain a diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce of engaged, motivated employees.
It’s why we developed the SCG Accelerator System™ Solutions: a comprehensive suite of solutions and consultation packages needed to establish, implement and grow workforce development pipelines that enable students to have successful career opportunities BEFORE they graduate from high school, and for companies and communities to thrive and prosper.
START BUILDING TODAY
Hi, I’m Judi Vigna, Certified Diversity Executive®, CEO, and Creator of the SCG Accelerator System™.
I created this framework after watching my son struggle to access and explore a career track that interested him in high school.Â
At the time, we were unaware of the many options that would have matched his area of interest, keep him engaged in school and provide him with strategic next steps after graduation.
It doesn’t have to be this way for graduating students, families, organizations, or communities.
At SCG, we believe in igniting a flame of growth for high school students so they see themselves as a part of the plan and own their part of the future.
We fuel this spark through quality career exploration, education and training as active partners with you. We enable the multiple stakeholders in your organization and the community with a concrete plan so that the work continues no matter what.
SCHEDULE A CONSULTATIONThe SCG Accelerator System™ is comprised of 3 components that underlay all of our services:
- Career Exploration: Creates excitement for young adults about a career they may have not known about before. They can’t want what they don’t know.
- Career Pathways:Â Endows technical skills and work-based learning for students.
- Workforce Platform:Â The foundational bridge to building sustainable relationships with LOCAL employers in the community who see themselves as true partners vested in creating career opportunities for students.
It’s a shared responsibility to build a structure and ecosystem that connects our schools and industry partners to create communities where students and companies thrive and prosper.
With a proven track record of success, having replicated our methods repeatedly, we can adapt our system and grow as you do, ensuring continued success for your institution, organization, and community.
Our approach is different from others.
We don't just tell you what to do, we show you how to do it.
Our efforts have helped organizations and school districts develop key components necessary for students to graduate with valuable certifications and work-based learning experience enabling them to land full-time positions with career growth.
