About Our Client
The American economy presents challenges for many working adults who do not earn a living wage. These talented individuals often have limited options for advancement: traditional college is lengthy and costly, full-time boot camps lack flexibility, and online courses may not provide sufficient structure or support to transition into a new career. This situation can leave skilled workers, disproportionately people of color and women, in low-wage roles without a clear path to a better future for themselves and their families.
Our client creates pathways to family-sustaining careers for Americans facing these challenges. Its fast, flexible solutions are designed for working adults. The process begins by analyzing job market data to identify in-demand, high-paying tech careers. Then, in partnership with industry-recognized organizations, it trains individuals for these roles through part-time programs that blend flexible online learning with expert coaching. Finally, it supports learners in their job search, connecting them with a wide range of employers to secure higher-earning, family-sustaining jobs. The mission is to build a scalable pathway for workers to achieve middle-class status through merit, not financial means.
Note: While the organization generally operates on a four-day workweek, this role requires a five-day schedule (Monday–Friday) due to the nature of executive support.
