Are you worried entry level jobs are disappearing?

The Experience Gap is real: entry level jobs now require years of experience. And most internships are never posted on job boards. Internships are created and filled via human connections: clubs, professors and career chats with alumni who want to help.

Tapping Connections is Not Intuitive

Building new professional connections may feel intimidating. It doesn’t have to be that way. LAGCC's faculty, staff and alumni are ready to help. Goldi—your AI-powered coach, helps you brainstorm and practice your first career chat.

Is This for Me?

Absolutely! Now is the perfect time to build your network. Developing authentic relationships takes time, so start while you're in school. Connect with faculty, staff, administrators, and professionals you meet through internships or career exploration. These connections can become mentors and supporters when you're ready to job search or prepare to transfer to a 4-year college or university.
Yes! The core principles work for everyone, and the AI Coach will automatically tailor the examples, success stories, and strategies to address your unique challenges and opportunities.
Absolutely. Many of our most successful learners describe themselves as introverts. The Goldi approach focuses on authentic relationship building, not "working the room" or forced connections.
The program is specifically designed to help you identify connections you didn't realize you had and strategically expand your network in targeted ways.
