OVERVIEW
The USBLN’s Rising Leaders Initiative is a career
development program for students and recent graduates
with disabilities through linkages with business
professionals from USBLN corporate partners.
The Rising Leaders Initiative involves two programs:
The Mentoring Program and the Leadership Academy.
The Mentoring Program is a six-month career mentoring
opportunity to college students and recent graduates,
including veterans, with disabilities. In 2017, there were
125 Rising Leaders in the Mentoring Program; many of
whom were STEM-focused. Approximately 85% of
Rising Leaders have been employed since the program’s
inception. Through the Mentoring Program, Rising Leaders
benefit from a network of businesses connections.
The Founding Partners of the Mentoring Program are:
Microsoft, Northrop Grumman and Deloitte.
The Leadership Academy is an intensive two-day
networking and career development opportunity that
takes place during the USBLN Annual Conference. 17 job
offers were extended to USBLN Rising Leaders by the
end of the Conference in 2017.
The 2017 Leadership Academy was exclusively supported
by Microsoft and Northrop Grumman.
LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
If you are a college student or recent graduate with a disability who
has questions about transitioning into employment in the business
sector, we highly encourage you to apply for either program!
USBLN especially encourages STEM majors, veterans, students of
color, and LGBTQ+ students to apply.
