In mid-September, Year Up rebranded as Year Up United (YUU) to better reflect the organization’s comprehensive suite of solutions and services geared towards addressing the Opportunity Divide. In an interview with Work Shift, Ellen McClain, CEO and President at YUU, discusses the work ahead and what the rebrand signals for the unified organization.
She also addresses how YUU is working with AI and launching future-looking initiatives like its Career Alliance and sustainable “talent network” models. Elyse Rosenblum, founder and managing partner of Grads of Life, and Michelle Sims, YUPRO Placement’s CEO, are also quoted.
