A big thank you to our partners at Ellucian for hosting their Career Accelerator Workshop, “Landing the Job,” for over 100 of our alumni last month! 🎉 The event covered essential topics like personal branding, resume writing, and interview preparation. With the help of over 20 dedicated Ellucian volunteer mentors, our alumni engaged in small breakout sessions, discovering their “why” and honing their answers to common interview questions using the STAR method. We appreciate you, Ellucian 🙏🏽
About us
COOP is working to build a diverse movement of upwardly mobile first-gen college grads overcoming underemployment through digital skills and peer connections. We want to reignite our nation’s promise of upward mobility for those who strive to achieve a brighter future for themselves and their families—to ensure the American Dream is a reality for all. We will ensure that first-generation and low-income college grads make the connections they need for the careers they deserve. Across our sites in New York City, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami, we’ve launched 300 cohorts since 2014, welcoming almost 4,000 alumni in our first eight years. Eighty percent of alumni overcome underemployment within a year, earning an average of $50,000 per year and almost $75,000 after five years. COOP aims to reach 10,000 alumni in our first decade, fueling upward mobility and fulfilling the promise of higher education. Join us at coopcareers.org.
