PAID GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITY!
PROJECT: Meeting the Business Challenge of Finding and Keeping Talent
Mission:
LeadersUp bridges the divide between the untapped potential of young people and the business challenge of finding and keeping the best talent.
Defining the Problem:
The Starbucks Corporation and some of its largest U.S. suppliers founded LeadersUp as an independent organization to catalyze and engage the business community in tackling one of the most pressing issues of America’s workforce and economic future: youth unemployment. As the number of youth that are both out of school and out of work grows and the business challenge of recruiting and retaining good talent persists – there is an opportunity to bridge the talent divide. Given the evolving labor market, connecting workforce innovation to business strategy is an urgent imperative; and LeadersUp creates an opportunity for businesses to meet this imperative while ensuring that the Future is at Work. Visit us here to learn more about how we are helping businesses to prepare themselves for the demographic and generational shifts in the U.S. workforce.
About the Fellowship
LeadersUp has launched demonstration projects at partner sites across the United States to test our case that opportunity youth are a viable talent development strategy for employers. Through demonstration projects that yield actionable data and proofs of concept, LeadersUp works with businesses to build models for bridging the talent gap. This project seeks to hire two graduate fellows to work extensively in data collection, program implementation, and program evaluation to measure outcomes for Opportunity Youth hires as a return on business investment.
If you have an interest in researching human capital management trends in business, learning more about workplace culture, or simply a passion for helping youth access opportunities for better livelihoods – this project might be for you. We seek fellows that are comfortable with numbers and data, interviews, focus groups, and database management. Additionally, experience or an interest in training design and outcome evaluation is a plus. Join the LeadersUp network in this exciting project that has sparked an innovative employer-led movement in hiring Opportunity Youth to meet business bottom- line objectives. Please submit a resume and brief cover letter stating your interest, number of hours you are available to work during the week, and your research experience. Working from home is perfectly okay. Application materials and any questions should be addressed to Nicole Caviris, Senior Research Fellow, at nicole@leadersup.org.
Note: This is a yearlong assignment and fellows will be expected to work primarily via phone and computer.
