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.

Practicing with the voice feature is valuable since you are practicing for real live conversations.
