We are data nerds passionate about helping people thrive.
Students are faced with disappointment, unemployment, underemployment, and excessive student loan debt upon graduation day. Career readiness for the real world isn't possible when the student-to-counselor ratio is 500:1 and actionable alumni data isn't readily available for students or university staff.
Steppingblocks was founded first to produce skilled, confident, workforce-ready graduates and second to augment institutional success through data-driven tools.
The concept for Steppingblocks begins with only the coffee-stained drawing on the right, 5,000 alumni profiles and a mission to help students make data-driven decisions.
