At Trendlines, we are fortunate to collaborate with a dedicated network of school partners who play a pivotal role in shaping the futures of aspiring young talent. Schools provide us with access to students who are ready to embark on a non-traditional post-secondary pathway.

Spotting Potential: School partners are the eyes and ears on the ground, identifying graduating seniors who have expressed an interest in pursuing non-traditional post-secondary paths or students who may not yet have a clear plan for their future. They work hand-in-hand with various tools such as ICAP, college centers, counselors, and other trusted sources to spot the potential in every student.

Collaborative Approach: We believe in the power of collaboration. Schools work closely with Trendlines to organize a structured program. During this period, Trendlines employees connect with students on-site, both during and after school, to provide guidance and support.

Beyond the Classroom: We understand the importance of real-world experience. Our school partners work with Trendlines to organize logistics for students to participate in off-site career exploration events. These experiences offer invaluable insights and inspiration, showcasing the vast array of opportunities available to them.

Building Soft Skills: Success is not only about technical knowledge but also about soft skills. School partners lead or collaborate with Trendlines staff members in implementing soft-skills training curricula, equipping students with the essential skills they need to excel in their chosen careers.

Supporting the Journey: School partners assist Trendlines in the critical process of following up with students on their training organization applications. This support ensures that students are guided through the application process and have a smoother transition into their chosen programs.
