Who We Are
We design customized Opportunity Talent strategies
Grads of Life equips employers with the knowledge, tools and infrastructure to access and benefit from Opportunity Talent – individuals who face barriers to employment, including lack of access to educational pathways.
In helping employers develop and implement equitable and inclusive talent strategies, we help them to build stronger organizations and promote economic opportunity and mobility in America.
We work to close the
Opportunity Gap
The Opportunity Gap keeps Opportunity Talent – like Opportunity Youth, people who have been incarcerated, people with disabilities, and many others – disconnected from meaningful careers.
It is more important than ever for employers to take a leading role in addressing the Opportunity Gap by creating a diverse and inclusive talent strategies. Current and future challenges such as recession due to COVID-19, growing economic and racial inequity, and increased automation demand an inclusive economy and an agile and adaptable workforce.
