YOUniversity Drive, LLC is a national organization that caters to students and young professionals in their early career development. Founded by educator and business executive Michelle R. Horton, YOUniversity Drive® was created out of the need to address challenges that prevent students from successfully transitioning from college to career. YOUniversity Drive® serves as a bridge between industry and academia by advocating for the highest quality education AND career readiness programs for students and young professionals. The YOUniversity Drive® Team works with a variety of stakeholders committed to the academic and professional achievement of our next generation, including companies, learning institutions, non-profit organizations, and parents. These partnerships enable us to motivate, educate, and inspire the leaders of tomorrow by helping them unleash their potential TODAY. Our approach focuses on offering creative, informative, and engaging content and programming that creates genuine connections with students and professionals in support of their success. Our goal is to connect with individuals where they are in their development, and help them get to where they need to be to compete and succeed in a global economy. We encourage participants to “get behind the wheel of their own success™” by taking personal responsibility for the choices that impact their careers. Hence, the phrase “YOU Drive™” is both our philosophy and a call to action.
