CAREER VINES
Who We Are
Career Vines
The idea behind the name "Career Vines" is rooted in the belief that career paths, just like vines, grow in different ways. The name honors the truth reflected in individual interests, strengths, and aspirations and rejects the notion of a singular and linear path to success. "Career Vines" benefit from an anchor to adapt or grow toward their ambitions. "Career Vines" also symbolizes that careers can thrive in varied environments and will resiliently grow in any direction to ensure their long-term prosperity.
