Launchpad Academy Purpose

Launchpad partners students and industry to create a learning environment that reaches beyond classroom fundamentals.

• This experience can help bridge the gap between what is learned in the classroom and what to expect in a career.
• These partnerships also create highly employable graduates who are more likely to gain employment and be successful in their chosen occupations, which benefits themselves and the community.
• The curated ecosystem allows industry direct access to the talent pipeline at Clayton State, an under-tapped market in the Atlanta area. This not only benefits students but also provides businesses with an opportunity to bring in new, diverse perspectives.
