About Us
We build pathways.
Talent is universal. Opportunity is not. We work with schools, employers, and organizations to help individuals and institutions work together to create roadmaps for training, work, and life.
Our Story
Camino Group was founded in Chicago in 2021. Our goal is to create accessible, equitable pathways for every individual to get the training they need for a career they love that offers a livelihood that supports their dreams. We build the bridges that make these pathways possible.
Our work is deeply personal. Camino Group's immigrant roots drive the conviction that hard work and education are the pillars of success. But our lived experience has shown us that opportunity is unequal and that the "traditional" path to success does not work for everyone. We know that to build new pathways, we must learn from and partner with the communities we seek to serve.
We believe that the middle-class dream should be available to all. We also know that middle class careers are waiting in job sectors that can make a positive impact in our communities and across the world. Camino Group's focus on education, healthcare, and clean tech career pathways reflect our values.
Mission
We envision a world where…
there is a path for every talent and a destination for every dream. Where everyone has the opportunity for a fulfilling career and a good income. Where culture and community are assets, not obstacles.
Our Approach
Bilingual and Bicultural
The average “new normal student” has years of work experience, parenting obligations, and household responsibilities to juggle. For them to navigate the training programs, higher education, and ever-changing professional landscape is the equivalent of being in a different country while not speaking the language.
As a bilingual, bicultural organization…we get it. Straddling two cultures can be difficult.
Our work builds bridges across organizations, culture, and language to make opportunities accessible to all, especially those who have been traditionally left out of progress. Camino Group is a proudly people-centered organization that works with institutions to better understand, engage with, and serve individuals. We draw from our own lived experiences as bicultural and bilingual professionals to bring a fresh and valuable perspective to the challenges our clients face.
