Make it Movement

In our region and across the country, there is a huge mismatch: tens of thousands of skilled positions go unfilled while, at the same time, so many young people lack confidence in their own future, feeling lost without a clear path to a career opportunity.

The Make It Movement is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to reaching young people while in high school and introducing them to careers where higher learning equals higher earning. We have brought together a coalition of organizations who know there is more than one way to Make It in Central Texas and in America. We share a vision in which every young person, after graduating from high school or receiving a GED, pursues some kind of further education that matches his or her interests and desires. 

The Make It Movement is proud to partner with the purpose-based leaders and staff at Austin Community College, Workforce Solutions Capital Area, E3 Alliance, Texas Association of Builders, United Way for Greater Austin, American Youthworks, Austin Regional Manufacturers Association, and Skillpoint Alliance.
