OUR SOLUTION
"While possessing the right technical skills will always be important, I think leadership skills like coaching and mentoring, communication and diversity of thoughts are increasingly important in our global industry."

Mentorship: Bridge to Connect will pull in professionals to coach and guide these first-generation college students in navigating the professional dos and don'ts. The program will provide infrastructure for these individuals to participate in the building and shaping of the next generation of professionals.
The process is a perpetual mentorship program.
