5 Ways You Can Invest in the Future
of Kingdom-Minded Professionals
1. Monthly Business sponsorships for Talent Pipeline
Tired of the endless cycle of recruiting? This partnership is for the business leader who needs a continuous stream of talent and wants to invest in building a pipeline of future leaders. Think of it as an alternative to a traditional recruiter or staffing agency, but with a shared Kingdom purpose. We do the work of finding and preparing students, so you can focus on mentoring and growing your business.
Your investment directly fuels our ability to recruit and train more students, building a talent pool specifically for you.
It helps us show young people that there's a better path than drowning in student debt while sitting in lecture halls. It helps us prove that they can graduate with real work experience, a robust portfolio, minimal debt, and a job already waiting, while their peers are just starting to look for entry-level positions.
As a Business Sponsor, you get additional perks like recognition on our website or at events, free business strategy sessions, and discounted Studio work!
We’ve developed 4 Business Sponsor levels to suit your pipeline needs.
