Opportunity Academy

The Opportunity Academy is a career exploration program for middle school students at LUMIN Schools. Led by La’Ketta Caldwell, Director of the Opportunity Academy, the program connects LUMIN scholars with professionals from a variety of industries, giving students the opportunity to explore career paths, discover their interests, and envision their futures.

Through the Opportunity Academy, students develop valuable leadership and career-readiness skills to prepare them for high school and beyond. Students gain practical experience with resume writing and interview strategies while building relationships with mentors and professionals. They also receive letters of recommendation, personalized support with resume development, mentorship opportunities, and invitations to special experiences, including the Career Expo.

The Opportunity Academy is an important part of the LUMIN Schools model, helping students discover their strengths, explore their possibilities, and build the skills and confidence they need to reach their full potential.
