Career Climbers Program

The Problem

Your Teen Deserves More Than "Figuring It Out"

Most students coming out of school "fall into" jobs rather than intentionally finding their purpose and climbing toward ambitious goals. And with AI reshaping the job market, choosing the right career path is more challenging than ever.

As a parent, you want to help but the career landscape has changed dramatically.

You're hoping school will provide guidance. That college will be the answer. But deep down, you know hope isn't a strategy.

They need more than advice. They need a system. A partner. A clear path forward.

The reality today:

Most students “fall into” a job

They’ve never explored what truly fits them, they just take whatever’s in front of them after graduation.

AI is changing everything — fast

The safe, traditional paths parents knew are disappearing. Choosing wrong now has bigger consequences than ever.

Parents want to help… but feel stuck

Your experience is 20–30 years old. You’re terrified of steering your kid toward a dead-end or pushing too hard in the wrong direction.

“They’ll figure it out in college” is a myth

Hope is not a strategy. Without early exploration, students either cling to one idea they barely understand (tunnel vision) or feel completely overwhelmed.

An unsustainable path for the next generation. Glad we have platforms like Orchard to guide parents and students!

Wow, this is really cool! I know I would've loved to use this with my students when I was in the classroom -- and I know my kid will love this now.

So cool! Wish I had something like this when I was in high school. Would’ve saved me 4.5 years of engineering in college.
