The hiring decisions you make today create the economy and workforce of tomorrow. But, hiring is hard; and the stakes are high when hiring for an equitable future.
Youth apprenticeship naturally moves us towards a more equitable future—the earned meaningful experience, debt-free college credit and professional networks put any student on the path to a high-paying career. But the social capital that comes from those things also present opportunities for students who might not otherwise have had them.
CareerWise is amplifying the DEI aspects of the program for employers that are specifically seeking to diversify their talent pipeline and invest in an inclusive workplace. The Equity First apprenticeship program is designed to help move employers from the status quo to meaningful change through a diverse and inclusive workforce, DEI training and creating opportunity where there wasn’t before.
It’s not philanthropy; apprenticeship is a mutually beneficial talent strategy addressing diversity challenges.
CareerWise finds a talented and diverse group of students for your apprenticeship positions, reducing the effort, time and expense of recruiting.
Anti-bias and inclusive leadership trainings are provided to companies in the program. You’ll be certified as an Equity First employer, signaling your commitment to DEI work.
CareerWise partners with employers to help provide any additional support needed to ensure every apprentice’s chance to thrive for your business.
