Get ready to launch! Dallas Collins Services is thrilled to announce 🧭 LaunchPad: Life Ready Edition – our comprehensive program designed to equip recent high school graduates, GED completers, and first-time job seekers with the essential skills and confidence they need to thrive in today’s job market and navigate the real world.

Essential Skills for Young Adults Entering the Real World.

🎓 Ready to Launch into Adulthood? We’ve Got You.
Navigating adulthood isn’t always taught in school — but that’s where Launchpad: Life Ready Edition comes in. Starting Monday, August 4th, Dallas Collins Services will be breaking down essential life skills for young adults through a dynamic series designed to build confidence, independence, and real-world readiness.

📚 What’s Included in Each Session?

Live teaching (in-person or virtual) or recorded playback

Downloadable workbook or activity sheet

Action steps + resource list

Bonus tip or “real life scenario” per session

🎁 Plus, every participant receives a Launchpad Starter Kit!
Packed with a welcome letter, a full session overview, 6 modules of worksheets, and sample forms (like how to write a check and budget sheets), these kits are designed to give you a head start. We'll be mailing these out by July 21st!

Each topic will be shared in a themed mini-series, including:
