Unissant as an organization believes that good business starts with good people who believe giving back is fundamental for success. We set our goals high when it comes to the well-being of our community.
Unissant is proudly partnering with Year Up in their internship program, providing training, supervision, and mentoring to a Year Up intern. Year Up is a national non-profit organization that empowers urban students to reach their full potential by providing training and education for them to attain professional careers within a single year. Their students are highly motivated and talented, but often lack the traditional pathways to education and professional employment. Year Up provides a rigorous series of educational classes in IT and leadership, which help to prepare the young adults for an internship and professional career.
In turn, Unissant will play an integral part of the second phase of the Year Up internship program. The second phase of the program allows the students to join a company as an intern. During their time at Unissant, the skills that the students were taught in the classroom will be enriched by the training, supervision, and mentoring of the Unissant employees.
Year Up has produced some amazing results to their students including 100% placement of qualified students into internships, 58% of Year Up graduates are employed or attending college full-time within four months of completing the program, and employed Year Up graduates earn an average of $18 per hour – the equivalent of $36,000 per year.
Unissant is excited by the success of the program thus far and look forward to continuing the partnership with Year Up.
