$2000 of Excellence

According to a CNBC report, "More than 40 percent of college graduates [transition into roles that don't] require a degree- defined as underemployment."   

This number represents those who find a role after college because according to a 2019 Federal Reserve Bank report, “Recent college graduates have the highest unemployment rate.”

With the cost of college averaging a little over 34K, many are questioning the value/return of investment of a college education.

Excellence Brainery offers education and career planning coaching and resources to high school students, partnering with families, community groups, and higher education organizations to facilitate career-development programming.

 We coach students to get very clear about who they are and what they want; and we teach them to apply an investigative lens to life after school- while they are in high school.

• We help students establish clarity about their DREAM-before attending college.
• We help students identify the best educational pathway for their DREAM.
• We help students draft a career plan to go-after their DREAM.

Excellence Brainery’s competitive advantages are:

• Relationship Coaching- We understand that a student’s ability to dream starts at home. We value and nurture the communication relationship between the student and the parent; and we have integrated activities for both the parent and the student to complete in all of our resources.
• No Cookie Cutter Formula - We do not teach students to follow a step-by-step process- but rather to think critically and strategically-and to put those thoughts on paper. 
• Career Mentorship-Students have access to virtual career mentors throughout college matriculation. This network gives them a free space to inquire about internships, salary insight, industry credentials, etc. 

With founder, Linnita Hosten at the helm, Excellence Brainery is equipped with seasoned Curriculum Writers and Student Coaches.
