🌟 NextGen Ready: Helping You Navigate Career Decisions with Confidence!
🚀 Your Career Begins Here
Now Serving Students, Job-Seekers & Professionals
My name is Kemauri Smith, and before anything else, I’m a first-generation college graduate who spent years trying to figure things out on my own. Like many of us, I grew up hearing: “Just go to college.”
But no one explained how to choose the right major…
How to navigate financial aid…
How to build a career plan…
Or how to step into a workforce that changes every single year.
I remember feeling excited — but also overwhelmed, confused, and honestly, a little lost. And the more I grew in my career, the more I realized I wasn’t the only one.
If you’ve ever felt like you were navigating your future without a map, you are exactly who I created NextGen Ready for.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked across classrooms, higher education, career education, workforce development, and EdTech, supporting individuals at every stage of their journey and witnessing firsthand how overwhelming career decisions can be without the right guidance.
People shared the same concerns again and again:
“I don’t know what career path is right for me.”
“I’m not sure how to stand out.”
“I wish someone would just explain my options.”
Most people are doing the best they can with the information they have — but the information isn’t always clear, complete, or accessible.
That’s why I built NextGen Ready: to give people the support, clarity, and confidence I wish I had years ago.
Because career success isn’t just about having skills — it’s about having direction.
And too many of us never received that.
