Diversity in Recruiting
As part of InsideTrack’s ongoing commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and in recognition of the many ways that individuals may be negatively impacted by systemic oppression, for example, negative stereotypes and biases that discourage minoritized people from applying to leadership positions — including Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, people from working-class backgrounds, people with disabilities, women, and LGBTQ people, we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or members of other marginalized communities.
Strada is the parent company of InsideTrack. At InsideTrack our mission is to fuel social mobility and close equity gaps by empowering and advancing all learners. We use the power of coaching to support individuals in achieving their educational and career goals — transforming lives and organizations while creating social change.
