An Opportunity for Employers
We envision a future where every first-generation and/or low-income (FGLI) college student in the United States secures meaningful, high-quality employment. With our Network of Partners, we're utilizing our Career Platform to unlock the employment potential of FGLI students by providing career information and insights, resources to develop their skills, social capital, and access to career opportunities.
Employer Partners not only contribute to the success of FGLI students and graduates, they also gain incredible leverage in realizing their own goals for talent recruitment, diversity, and social responsibility.

Opportunities for sponsorship
We believe that companies deserve the opportunity to change the world. But we also know that they need strategic and sustainable partners to do so. In America today, there are myriad causes for social improvement that companies can invest in.
The opportunity to invest in our mission is not only one of financial stewardship, but it also includes the opportunity for volunteerism and talent sourcing.
The CareerSpring Talent Pool
As educational pioneers in their family, FGLI students embark on uncharted territory to navigate the path through higher education and personal advancement. Courageously, they make this journey without the intellectual and social capital that facilitates the upward advancement of so many in our society. But what FGLI college students lack in context and connections, they overcompensate for in determination, preparation, and potential.
These young people have followed our country’s guidance throughout their education and have reached the milestone that could transform their life and our communities forever. They are successful professionals just waiting to happen. But they need help. With the right guidance, the right resources, and the right doors opened – FGLI college students can become incredible assets to any organization they join.
With your support, we are helping change the lives of FGLI students across the United States.
