Grads to Be Present: Light the Dream, Career Making 101
Light the Dream: Business Making 101 is an engaging session for students, clubs, high school youth, and career‑focused programs. The workshop connects education to income‑generating futures, helping increase degree completion by showing students how their studies can lead to real economic opportunity. It also expands career pathways for those who face barriers to traditional employment, positioning your campus as a launchpad for immigrant‑led businesses and local economic growth. Participants learn to reframe entrepreneurship as a tool for care, culture, and self‑sufficiency; explore work models that reflect undocumented and mixed‑status realities; and build the confidence needed to pursue business ownership as a post‑graduation goal. The session encourages students to see business not just as a career option, but as a vehicle for purpose and community impact.
