Yahoo! Finance highlighted ENTITY Academy’s leading-edge approach to talent development, focusing on how Career Catalyst is revolutionizing the way entry-level women and diverse talent accelerate their careers.
The program was established by ENTITY’s chief executive officer and founder, Jennifer Schwab, and it’s not your typical training program. It’s a dynamic blend of an elevated set of soft skills instruction by senior business leaders and 1:1 mentorship, all designed to empower participants with the skills they need to accelerate their careers in the modern corporate workplace.
A highlight of the article is the announcement of ENTITY Academy’s partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advancing Equity Through Workforce Partnerships program. The partnership will provide soft skills training and placement opportunities for over 1,000 women and diverse talent in the clean-energy industry. The Career Catalyst Program is an inspiring example of how the company and Schwab are making a tangible impact on workforce diversity and inclusion.
The article also sheds light on the challenges facing employers in improving diversity, retention, and productivity in the modern workplace. By eliminating degree requirements and tapping into a diverse talent pool, companies can gain a competitive edge while fostering a more inclusive culture.
Schwab founded ENTITY Academy in response to the numerous challenges women face in the workforce. For over seven years, the organization has been at the forefront of addressing these issues, equipping pre-bachelor’s degree women and diverse talent with the skills necessary to thrive.
But perhaps the most compelling aspect spotlighted in the Yahoo! Finance article was the community-driven approach behind the Career Catalyst Program.
