For young professionals stepping into the workforce, the "entry-level" job can feel like anything but—especially when so many require a university degree just to get started. We often talk about building bridges to address injustice, but what if we focused on closing the gaps instead? On today’s episode, Gerald Chertavian, founder of Year Up United and Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School, shares how he sparked change within the system, creating pathways to close the opportunity divide and level the playing field for young adults. Tune in to hear how Gerald Chertavain sparked systems change both in practice and in mindset. 🎧: https://lnkd.in/ek5suZKN Special thanks to the team who made this episode happen: 🎙️ Hosts: Jeffrey Walker and English Sall 👋 Guest: Gerald Chertavian, Founder of Year Up United and Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School 🎥 Producer: Hueman Group Media 🤝 Partners: Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, New Profit, Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation, Echoing Green, Maverick Collective, Virgin Unite, Synergos , Forward Global, NEXUS Global, Boldly Go Philanthropy, Skoll Foundation, and The Aspen Institute
