Perhaps 40% of recent college graduates are underemployed, and the problem particularly hits diverse and first generation grads. Our guest, Lukeisha Paul, says it’s not always easy for young people to work their way in, and work their way up, complex organizations, but there are ways to help. Lukeisha is the U.S. head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for GroupM, a global advertising and media company. And she’s active in the GroupM/Coop Career partnership to give practical support to grads. Lukeisha explains how the Coop program helps cohorts of young people develop upward mobility by acquiring in-demand digital skills, strong peer relationships, and an enhanced sense of self. And she offers tips for grads who maybe struggling. For more, see: https://coopcareers.org and https://www.groupm.com/
