Mission
Be part of an innovative movement to increase career awareness in low-income areas
Mission
Be part of an innovative movement to increase career awareness in low-income areas
SuitUp increases career awareness and marketable skills for students that need it the most. We do this by aligning the incentives of companies and schools - organizing simple, exciting and impactful volunteer events for corporations that equip students for life beyond the classroom.
The Problem
Children in low-income communities are not exposed to private sector jobs and have limited career awareness because of it. Without proper career exposure in America’s most diverse communities, how can we tap into the full potential of our nation’s workforce?
Our Mission
SuitUp increases college and career awareness and preparedness for students in underserved communities through innovative business competitions.
How It Works
SuitUp bring companies together with MS/HS students to participate in a one day in- person or virtual business competition. Students are divided into teams and work with our coaches to solve a real problem for a real company, like creating a new product for Nike. Students present their ideas to a panel of judges and the winning team is awarded a cash prize.
