Beginning in September, Bridge To Business will be leading roughly 40 high school students through a series of bi-weekly educational and networking webinars with Wharton graduates working in various fields across the business world.
The webinar series will run from September through May and will cover nearly 20 subjects, including corporate finance, venture capital, portfolio management, branding and marketing, and more.
Students will be participating in lectures and interactive Q&A's with our guest teacher/mentors, gaining exposure to the inner workings of various trades and helping to inform their own future paths.
Roughly half of our students this year were admitted in collaboration with our four partner community programs -- Heights Philadelphia, Urban Upbound, the South Bronx Community Charter School, and the Johnny Mac Tennis Project -- which work to create educational and career opportunities for young people from underserved backgrounds.
