Hire Proximity bridges the gap between education and employment.
We lift students into their future by combining skill‑building workshops with direct employer connections.
The Market Is Tough.
Our students are tougher because they’re prepared and connected.
We help students learn how to connect effectively and give them direct access to industry executives and decision‑makers who can expand their professional community.
From College to Career: Building Readiness From Day One
-
Our Immersion programs give students something they cannot get from any online application or virtual event. They step directly into real offices, meet the teams doing the work, and see what different career paths actually look and feel like.
Instead of being just another online application, students get to show up in person, ask questions, and see what different career paths actually look and feel like.Our employer visits vary in length depending on the partner, but each one offers meaningful face‑to‑face time with professionals who are excited to share their work, their journeys, and their advice. Students get a close look at how teams collaborate, how decisions are made, and what employers truly value in early‑career talent.
Enrollment is intentionally small so every student can participate, be seen, and build genuine connections. These conversations often spark clarity, confidence, and opportunities that simply don’t happen from behind a screen.
Each immersion includes at least one prep session to help students show up ready, the employer visits, and a follow‑up reflection session to turn insight into action. Together, these experiences give students the access, preparation, and support they need to move their career forward with purpose.
