Another year, another opportunity to give back! This year, we are donating to Reading Partners for each hour of unused, paid employee volunteer time in 2023. This money will support a future book fair where our team members can volunteer, making these dollars come full circle to support young students!

ECMC Group's #QuestionTheQuo campaign is all about helping students understand their postsecondary education and career options and encouraging them to choose the path that's right for them. Here's the data behind the work.

As 2023 draws to a close, we express our thanks and appreciation for all our teams have done this year to support our mission and each other. We wish you all a happy, healthy and safe holiday season and look forward to the what the new year will bring!

For ECMC Group's 2023 holiday donation drive, we are supporting Pajama Program, which promotes equitable access to healthy sleep so all children can thrive. Through this partnership, we've connected with Fostering Love Project, Sac Kids First and Union Rescue Mission - Los Angeles to help youth in each of of the communities where our offices are located.

Earlier this month, we attended Association for Career and Technical Education's CareerTech Vision Conference and shared insights from our #QuestionTheQuo campaign, data and best practices around basic needs and the importance of employer collaboration in college completion, career readiness and job placement. Here are some of our favorite moments.

Special shout out to Anna Fontus, Jacob Kassuba and Laura Telander Graf for their presentations!

As part of our #QuestionTheQuo campaign, we spoke with high school students about their education and career paths, what concerns them about the future and how they are making plans. This inspiring group has a lot of hope, but they still need resources to help them achieve success. https://bit.ly/4amNQd7

This week, our Employee Network Group executive sponsors and co-leads gathered in our Minneapolis headquarters to reflect on successes from the past year and to strategize ways to advance our culture of diversity, equity and inclusion in the new year.

Our Employee Network Groups play a key role in developing a culture where our team members feel free to live authentically and feel a sense of belonging. Thank you to these incredible leaders for their dedication and commitment to creating connections and celebrating diversity!
