Career Pathways
It’s your decision.
Choosing a career path is one of the biggest and most important decisions you’ll ever make. The good news is that The Promise is here to help you find and pursue the career path that fits you best.
A Path Pursued
The Promise has been blessed with over 8,000 scholars so far. That’s more than 8,000 success stories, and we’re so proud of every single one.
We had the pleasure of spending a day with Promise Alum, Malcolm Jones, to hear about his journey down the path to his dreams as he begins his career.
We Have Your Back
The Promise has employed a number of experienced staff members dedicated to helping you earn and use your Promise. Getting connected with us is an essential part of getting the most from your scholarship.
Promise Pathway Coaches work directly in each KPS high school to assist seniors in their transition to post-secondary. Our coaches can help match your strengths & interests to an academic and career pathway.
