Great to be back in NYC last week raising money for Pursuit. We raised over $1M dollars for the gala event.
Since 2013, Pursuit has added a projected $1B in lifetime wage gains for its participants.
Pursuit Fellows go from earning $18,000 to over $90,000 starting salary on average, adding $2M in estimated lifetime earnings per person.
We partner with top companies such as Citi, Uber, Peloton, and Blackstone to hire Fellows and provide on-the-job support to employers to ensure potential translates to performance. 100% of
Fellows come from low-income backgrounds; 70% are Black or Hispanic;
40% are first-generation immigrants; 50% are women, transgender, or non-binary; 60% do not have a Bachelor's Degree; and 50%+ receive some public assistance.
In addition to our training and employment programs, we are creating a market to finance a sustainable model that other organizations can adapt to change workforce systems.
