Hats & Ladder, Inc.

Hats & Ladders, Inc. is a mission-driven start-up focused on helping individuals develop career thinking so they can feel more confident and better informed about their future choices. We’re supported by the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Education, and youth development organizations in New York City and beyond. Our platform promotes a blended learning approach: a self-guided web-based app for young adults and teens that works in tandem with a web-based dashboard of resources for educators.

Hats & Ladders uses proven game mechanics, up-to-date occupational data, and personalized instruction to motivate the next generation of career thinkers and doers. Our mission is to empower teens and young adults with career-building experiences, skills, and opportunities so they can take small steps now that lead to big leaps later.
