Why social capital matters in career success
80% of jobs are filled via referrals. When it comes to finding a job, your connections matter. For first-generation, low-income (FGLI) college students, a connection can make all the difference. That’s why we help them build the social capital students need to thrive.
Landing a job in today's economy is not easy. We know that relationships matter and that's why we're taking a proactive approach to helping students learn how to network and get access to the right people.
Our hundreds of connections across Corporate America sets us apart as an effective and impactful partner to building students' social capital.
"It's not just about the most qualified candidate. It's also the one who has the person in the room with the loudest voice who's vouching for them the most."
