Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Building a movement of diverse, upwardly mobile college grads overcoming underemployment through digital skills and peer connections.

  • THE ORGANIZATION OPERATES AN APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM DESIGNED TO OVERCOME UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDEREMPLOYMENT AMONG MINORITY AND FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE GRADUATES.

The program combines classroom instruction with project-based workshops meant to develop real world experience. The hard skills portion focuses on teaching skills relevant to the digital economy such as proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Google Ads & Analytics, Salesforce, SQL, HTML, and Tableau, and other skills relevant to other career fields. The "soft skills" portion of the Program focuses on teaching skills such as career navigation, networking, resume and cover letter writing, email etiquette and communication.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
