Success Cohorts
Success Cohorts supports our next generation of leaders from historically underrepresented communities. We provide belonging, coaching, resources, and the tools to help level the playing field for early career success. We take members through a rigorous and tested curriculum using a cohort to create a team atmosphere and 1:1 meetings for individual support. This includes twelve (12) 90-minute sessions with cohort members and monthly one-to-one meetings with their coach. Coaches are successful first-generation college graduates, working parents, and/or BIPOC with 4+ years of work experience. The curriculum includes: 1) Examining who you are and how you work, 2) Evaluating your job and your performance, 3) Developing the soft skills that lead to success, 4) Determining your career plan and how to achieve it Our pilot program is underway in partnership with the College Success Foundation. We are grateful for their 20-years of experience to advise us.
