Idaho LAUNCH

Idaho LAUNCH, a new initiative this year, is designed exclusively for high school seniors graduating with the class of 2024. The primary objective of Idaho LAUNCH is to facilitate a seamless connection between high school seniors and in-demand career opportunities through comprehensive training and education programs offered at Boise State University.
A different iteration of Idaho LAUNCH has been successfully running for approximately three years. This program, known as Idaho LAUNCH for Adults, has been a valuable resource for adults seeking to enhance their skills or transition into new career paths. It has proven instrumental in providing financial support for training in various high-demand careers.

Idaho LAUNCH is available to:

• Idaho high school students graduating in 2024
• Students who continue their education at Boise State immediately following high school (fall 2024 semester)
• Students who enroll in or have applied to an in-demand career program at Boise State by the fall 2024 semester
