Opportunity Ignited

Partner with The Opportunity Network to advance your company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion goals.

 

Is your company looking to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace where professionals of color can thrive?

Are you looking for custom live and on-demand diversity, equity, and inclusion training options for your team?

Do you need an experienced partner that can design tailored solutions such as learning retreats, expert panels, and quarterly learning digests for your team?

 

Through Opportunity Ignited, OppNet works with employers aiming to learn, design, and build inclusive workplaces to hire, onboard, and retain first-generation college students and talent of color for summer internships and full-time jobs. Opportunity Ignited engagements are tailored to fit each partners’ unique resources and needs, and OppNet works with companies to co-create goals based on findings from an inclusive culture mapping process. 

Opportunity Ignited is powered by our commitment to center racial and social justice, and is grounded in OppNet’s nearly twenty years of experience connecting students from historically and systematically underrepresented communities to education and employment.

 

Below are sample Opportunity Ignited services, customized depending on the level at which partners join: 

 

  • Inclusive culture mapping that details the company’s dimensions of culture and diversity informed by staff surveys and focus groups, culminating in a debrief session to share findings and recommendations; 
  • Access to live and on-demand trainings on diversity, equity, and inclusion topics with the option for supplemental branded materials; 
  • Customized workshops informed by talent of color and designed based on your company’s unique areas of momentum, activation, and inertia; 
  • Targeted support in recruiting OppNet Fellows for internships;
  • Access to industry trends and benchmarking reports;
  • Advisory services; and
  • Custom/branded solutions such as learning retreats, expert panels and discussions, quarterly learning digests.
  • and more!

 

Opportunity Ignited services are priced according to the unique scope of work, and typically range from $25,000 to $50,000 and more.  

“The Culture Map provided us with additional insight on what initiatives our employees would like further developed and institutionalized. It also allowed us to understand the processes that we currently have in place that may not be resonating with our employees and reflect upon that.”
