Be a Company Partner

Employers who create a welcoming and responsive environment for these talented future leaders will be rewarded. Why? Because several studies show that companies with an inclusive workforce rank higher in performance and employee satisfaction. 

Success Cohorts provide a direct action program to support companies’ commitments to equity, diversity, and inclusion. We provide a place of belonging, listening, and dialogue among young people about the workplace. We also provide a feedback loop to the employer about perceptions, perspectives, and actions from the Success Cohorts community.

“As a member of First Gen Cohorts, I learned many new techniques for navigating my career as a young professional. Aside from the valuable learning that took place, I was also welcomed by a group of bright and supportive peers and coaches to help me refine my skills and talk through career-related topics. I would recommend this program to any professional in the workforce as it covers a breadth of topics.”
