Grad Bridgeway's Digital Signage is Free to Michigan High Schools

FOR SCHOOLS & DISTRICTS

Grad Bridgeway helps schools expand student awareness of college programs, skilled trades, apprenticeships, workforce training, and local career opportunities through engaging, student-friendly content delivered throughout the school day.

Our managed platform keeps real post-graduation pathways visible and easy to explore—supporting the important work of counselors and educators without creating another program for school staff to manage.

Expand What Students Can See Without Adding More to Your Staff’s Plate

Grad Bridgeway does not replace counselors, teachers, career fairs, or existing career-planning platforms. It helps their work remain visible between those important moments.
