Tips on how to know what career is right for you

  • First of all, find which career paths could be a good fit for you.
    • Make a list of your skills and compare it to the skills needed to see if any of them is a good match.

    • Do you prefer to work in/out of an office?
    • Do you want to work by yourself or as part of a team?
  • Then, after you narrowed it down — research, research, research!
    • Read everything you need to know about the training that’s needed to get the position and what the job actually entails.
    • Perhaps take a class related to the field to see if you enjoy learning about it.
  • If you’re still interested, get some inside information.
    • Reach out to people who work in the field and arrange an informational interview with them.
    • If you find that you get along, maybe even ask to shadow them at work for a day.
    • Another alternative is applying for internships in order to get some hands-on experience.
  • Once you decide on a career path, double-check and see if you have the resources needed to be trained for the job.
    • Do you have time in your schedule to go to classes or training?
    • Do you have enough money in order to pay for your education, or would need to take out a loan to pay for them?
    • If everything seems right, you should be good to go.

We wish you the best of luck and hope you manage to land your dream job!

What to Expect: Realistic Outcomes

Climb’s Comprehensive Access Solution can offer a strategic balance of increased enrollments and upfront cashflows compared to traditional lenders. While no financing solution guarantees 100% collection, our data-driven approach maximizes both upfront cash and long-term repayment rates.

Typical Partner Results:

  • 45-60% of students qualify for 0% APR* payment plans
  • Enrollment increases of 20%+ reported by partner schools**

**Results vary by school and student demographics. This represents performance reported by individual school partners and should not be considered a guarantee of your specific outcomes.

The bottom line: CAS is designed to maximize your net tuition recovery while eliminating the administrative headaches of student financing.

Maximizing Your Results

Students are placed into funding brackets (Elite, Standard, Enhanced) based on our AI assessment. Higher-credit students generate higher upfront payments to your school, while students with limited credit are seamlessly directed to our 0% Payment Plan.

These brackets are established using data from over $1 billion in career training loan originations and may be adjusted periodically based on updated repayment trends.

Important note: Regardless of which bracket a student falls into, they are considered fully paid by your school once funded. The student’s repayment obligation exists exclusively between Climb and the student.

Elite Access not available for Computer Science programs. Upfront percentages vary by industry and loan terms.

Once Climb disburses upfront funding for a student loan, that student is considered fully paid by your school. You will not receive any additional payments for that student—the single upfront payment is complete and final.

From that point forward, the student’s repayment obligation exists exclusively between Climb and the student. Your school has zero liability if the student defaults, and you keep the full upfront payment regardless of the student’s future payment performance.

They’re automatically offered our 0% Interest Payment Plan, ensuring no student is turned away while maintaining steady monthly cash flow for your school.

Higher-credit students generate larger upfront payments (75-100% of tuition), while students with limited credit use our 0% APR* Payment Plan for consistent monthly revenue. Both options are risk-free for your school
