NextStep was built with one goal in mind: to make the job search easier, clearer, and more encouraging for students and new graduates.
We believe your first job shouldn’t feel like an impossible leap — it should feel like a step forward. That’s why we created a platform designed specifically for those entering the workforce for the first time. No clutter. No competition from seasoned professionals. Just opportunities made for you.
The idea for NextStep was born from personal experience. After graduating college, our founder spent months trying to find an entry-level job — navigating overwhelming job boards, unclear qualifications, and constant rejections. That frustration sparked a bigger vision: what if the job search could actually be empowering?
So we built NextStep — a space where early-career talent can find internships, part-time jobs, and full-time roles designed for where they are right now. Not where they’ll be in 10 years.
Whether you're in school, about to graduate, or just stepping into the professional world, you're not alone — and you're not behind. You're right on time.
‍Start here. Grow here. This is your NextStep.

Our Mission:

To remove the barriers that make job hunting feel discouraging, and create a path where students and grads can confidently step into the next chapter of their lives — equipped, supported, and seen.

“I built NextStep because I know how it feels to scroll job boards for hours and still come up empty. This platform is for every student who just needs one shot to prove themselves.”— Evan, Founder
