ABOUT ROAD TO HIRE
ROAD TO HIRE’S WORK AT A GLANCE
Road to Hire interrupts cycles of intergenerational poverty by ensuring the young people in its programs have access to higher education, high-earning careers and prosperous futures.
R2H programs are designed to meet students where they are and provide pathways to high-growth careers in STEM. Road to Hire’s High School, College and Apprenticeship programs serve first-gen college students, students of color and students from low-income backgrounds.
Road to Hire prioritizes serving students whose opportunities continue to be limited by financial barriers and systemic racism, preparing them for technology, healthcare, engineering and other in-demand careers.
This work is transformative and is needed at a much larger scale.
Young people are the authors of our future.
To move forward together, our efforts must be unrelenting.
