VP of Career Launch Daisy Han breaks down how AI is impacting job opportunities and pathways to economic mobility – and which Making Waves programs are closing the opportunity gap.
CEO Patrick O’Donnell spotlights how Gen Z is ringing the alarm bell, saying current education and workforce systems aren’t working. He shares how Making Waves is listening to learn from Gen Z and testing and learning from some new approaches – from mentorship to AI to internships.
This always-on AI copilot for people from high school through the start of their career has been named a finalist at the ASU + GSV Summit’s Education Innovation Showcase.
We are offering scholarships for Bay Area high schoolers from low-income backgrounds. Students will also be enrolled in Making Waves’ college and career success program.
You could earn up to $20,000 in scholarships by texting and being on TikTok. Twenty students from the Bay Area will receive scholarships – and be enrolled in Making Waves Education Foundation’s college and career success program.
Graduating from college is one of life’s greatest triumphs. With that diploma in hand, graduates are ready to start the next chapter of their lives knowing they have what it takes to succeed. But for high school students with limited financial resources, who are the first in their family to go to college, simply applying to college can be a process filled with systemic barriers. As we pilot our new AI college advisor at Making Waves Foundation, we hope we can help remove those barriers.
Growing its mission to expand educational opportunity, Making Waves Foundation is piloting an AI college advising technology to support more students. Developed to supplement the shortage of dedicated college advisors in public schools, this resource uses artificial intelligence and automation to deliver college access content directly to students and families.
