The outcomes are proven. As the Non-Profit Arm of Professional Pipeline Development Group (PPDG), a team of experts from organizations including Korn Ferry and Center for Creative Leadership, collaborated with us to create Career Development OnRamp℠. The learning objectives were originally set for “high potential” diverse corporate leaders. With over 20 Cohorts of enterprise candidates, the outcomes have resulted in an 80% career improvement rate. We wanted to bring the same rigor to the black emerging scholar and early-career leader. The primary learning objective is to expand emerging leader’s’ capacity to excel in cross- functional teams and initiatives, across national and global boundaries. We have staged 2 Proof of Concepts with Cohorts in a) a Year-long enrollment and b) a “snap shot” experiential learning enrollment. Beginning with pre-work of a self-assessment and/or an Aptitude Assessment, the initial outcomes indicate a readiness to
- own their development process – I alignment with their values and what they are good at
- engage with solid models of leadership, embodied by leaders from all Industry Sectors – who are purpose-driven
- understand what power is in life and work

Cohort members of Career Development OnRamp℠ are selected based on stern criteria. The are committed to a development process enabling them to learn and change or jettison outdated thinking, confidently exhibit leadership skills to excel in their career and become organizational vanguards in the new era of work.
