COOP Careers

2017-2020, 2021 - Present

COOP Careers is building a movement of diverse, upwardly mobile college grads overcoming underemployment through digital skills and peer connections.

COOP Careers serves as connective tissue between urban public universities and local technology employers looking for motivated, diverse and prepared entry-level talent. More importantly, though, COOP connects underrepresented college grads to each other, within tight-knit cohorts and across "generations" of cohorts.

Arbor Rising is partnering with the COOP Careers management team on a number of key deliverables, including: 

  • Theory of Change — clarifying the population served, scope of intervention, progress milestones and target long-term outcomes

  • Outcomes Dashboard — identifying, carefully defining, and setting targets for key outcomes and leading indicators

  • Financial Model — to monitor fundraising progress, create multiyear budget projections, and track key programmatic outcomes

  • Earned Income Stream Development — exploring pathways to increase non-philanthropic revenue

  • Performance Management System – establishing roles, goals, and accountability targets for staff

  • Growth Strategy — articulating the approach and staffing structures required for multi-site expansion
