video interview with a black professional in
this career.

Wealth Gap In Black and White

There is no dispute that systemic and institutional racism has had damaging effects on the career aspirations of our children. This dynamic reveals itself in limited access to resources that help black and brown children explore the full range of viable career options.

 

Despite the barriers intended to stagnate diversity, equity and inclusion we continue to demonstrate the power of perseverance!

Organization Change Managers

Much like the name implies, a Change Manager is tasked with organizing, tracking, and suggesting the changes in which the implementation of the company’s structure is necessary for higher efficiency and profit. They are meant to make these processes as effective and efficient as possible.
