The DeBruce Foundation, a national nonprofit foundation based right here in Kansas City, is providing a free gift – the Graduation Toolkit – to every 2025 graduate to help them launch their careers. Grads can use the Graduation Toolkit to:
-Identify their top work skills
-Explore in-demand job opportunities
-Understand the income they’ll need
-Update their resume to highlight their strengths
-Map out a plan for their future
-Build networking skills
Kristie Larson, the Strategic Relationship Manager of The DeBruce Foundation, shares more about the toolkit. Kyra Afolabi, a 2025 graduate from UMKC, also weighs in on how it helped her.
