Case Study: Mission:Graduate helps youth bridge the employability gap with LaunchMe from CauseLabs

Mission:Graduate launches LaunchMe with CauseLabs, reaching hundreds of Albuquerque youth

The customer, Mission:Graduate, faced the challenge of helping high school students bridge the gap between their school experiences and the skills employers seek, a key obstacle in their goal to significantly increase local graduation rates. Vendor CauseLabs was engaged to address this challenge.

CauseLabs collaborated with the customer and local stakeholders to design and build the LaunchMe program and its companion web app. This solution allowed youth to map their experiences to employer-valued skills and earn badges by completing quests. The initiative was announced by the mayor at a major press conference and received widespread local media coverage. The app was successfully piloted with hundreds of youth, with plans for further integration into classrooms and future employer partnerships.
