In many regions, career orientation remains centralized, expensive, or simply unavailable. Students outside major cities often lack access to universities, mentors, and professionals who can help them make informed decisions about their academic and professional paths.

As a result, talented students frequently enter university programs that do not align with their skills, interests, or long-term goals. This misalignment leads to frustration, wasted potential, and difficult course corrections later on.

This systemic gap is what inspired the creation of Pathfinders.

In October 2025, Pathfinders reached a major milestone with a three-city national roadshow, engaging more than 3,000 students across Lebanon.

The journey began in Tripoli, in partnership with the Rotaract Club of Tripoli El Mina and the EU Jeel Connect Network, hosted at the Safadi Cultural Center. It continued in Beirut, supported by SmartESA and ESA Business School, alongside the Rotaract Club of Beirut Millennium. The final stop took place in Zahlé, co-organized with the Rotaract Club of Zahlé Capitol, Loubnaniyoun NGO, and the Municipality of Zahlé.

Each city brought a different energy, curiosity, ambition, and hope, but shared the same need: access to quality career guidance.
