Mentor Collective & Roadtrip Nation Partner to Expand Career Pathways

Roadtrip Nation Courses Now Available for Mentor Collective Partners

BOSTON, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the fragmented and often isolating journey from education to career, Mentor Collective today announced an impact partnership with Roadtrip Nation to better support learners in exploring and navigating meaningful career paths. By combining mentorship with career exploration tools, this collaboration enables learners to reflect, build social capital, and gain real-world insights at every stage of their journey. 

Both Mentor Collective and Roadtrip Nation share a deep commitment to supporting organizations in the effort to empower individuals on their career paths. Recognizing that a career is a journey of ongoing learning requiring exploration and navigation, this partnership will provide all Mentor Collective program participants with access to Roadtrip Nation content and courses. This access will bolster the mentorship infrastructure Mentor Collective provides, intentionally developing human connections and facilitating career exploration that drive real-world career outcomes for learners.

"We're thrilled to partner with Roadtrip Nation," said Erin Mayhood, CEO of Mentor Collective. "This partnership strengthens our mentorship ecosystem with a proven layer of career exploration content. Together, we're helping learners clarify their goals, build trusted networks, and make informed decisions about their futures."

Roadtrip Nation's courses are grounded in storytelling and lived experience, helping students and early-career professionals see what's possible—and how to get there. By integrating these resources into mentorship programs, institutions and employers will provide more holistic support, sparking deeper reflection, better questions, and more confident choices. These resources will now be available to all participants at organizations that use Mentor Collective services through the Mentor Collective dashboard.

"We know that the best possible college and career outcomes for young people can be reached through a mix of exploration and action," said Kelsey Cox, Chief Program Officer at Roadtrip Nation. "That's why we're excited to be able to pair our extensive archive of career content with Mentor Collective's personalized mentorship programming, creating layered experiences that will truly equip students with the confidence and social capital they need to succeed after school."
