Career Discovery That Actually Makes Sense

SparkLab helps teenagers explore careers beyond doctor, lawyer, and engineer. Interactive experiences, real stories, and personalized paths to discover what's actually out there.

The Career Exploration Problem

Most teenagers only know about a handful of careers. Meanwhile, thousands of fulfilling paths go unexplored simply because they've never heard of them.

Learn From Real People

Hear from professionals about their actual journeys. The failures, the pivots, the surprises. Real stories, not polished resumes.

3

Build Your Path

Save careers that spark your interest. Track skills you want to develop. Create a personal exploration roadmap that makes sense for you.

4

Take Action

Find resources, courses, and next steps. Connect with mentors. Turn curiosity into concrete actions.

About SparkLab

SparkLab was born from a simple observation: teenagers are curious about careers, but traditional career education is failing them. School career fairs showcase the same handful of professions. Online resources overwhelm with lists of job titles. And "follow your passion" advice leaves them more confused than inspired.

We're building something different. A platform where exploration beats pressure, where real stories trump polished resumes, and where teenagers can discover the thousands of fulfilling career paths that actually exist.

We believe career discovery should be exploratory, inspiring, real, and empowering.

We're launching in 2026 with our free Speaker Series and will gradually roll out the full platform throughout the year.
