The Xcelerate Workforce Pathway supports 50 graduating seniors who plan on entering the workforce directly out of high school. Our year-long program empowers students to develop leadership and career-readiness skills, teaches them about possible non-college career options, and directly links them to local businesses with openings for jobs that pay a living wage and provide benefits.
Program Goal:
To shift more workforce-bound high school graduates to higher-paying careers with benefits and growth potential and away from common jobs that pay lower wages, are part-time, and lack benefits.
We're always looking for partners that can offer opportunities to our students!
"Partnering with local programs, like Project Next, is beneficial for our company and the community. This program exposes students to Action Academy. Action Academy most likely wouldn't have been on their radar without the Xcelerate program at Project Next. With college becoming more expensive, the trades are becoming more popular. As we recruit people for our Action Academy we look to recruit from our local community and Project Next helps us with that. It helps grow our exposure to the community and allows us to provide long term career opportunities for local San Marcos residents. "

Project Next did a great job vetting qualified students to participate in the HomeAid Construction Training Program. One student, Anthony, was an excellent student who showed up on time, fully participated and is already engaged in interviews with prospective companies looking to hire. We look forward to a continued partnership Project Next".
