Sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of fateful trip,
that started from this tropic port...
.
Cap & Compass explains the "life skills" needed after high school and college.

The company was founded in 1999 by two college grads living in New York City. After three years in the working world, they recognized a gap between the subjects you learn in the classroom and the challenges you face in life. 
.
We offer five seminars on a broad range of "life after school" topics. 

Our books cover the things you never learn in high school and college, but need after you graduate.

A wide range of customers, from schools like Ohio University to companies like Google, give our books to new graduates as thoughtful gifts.  

Last but not least, we offer starter kits. They're web-based city guides -- perfect for grads on the move.
