02 — THE BARRIER
Talent isn't the gap.
Access is.
Our future leaders arrive with ambition and ability. What they don't arrive with is a network the quiet machinery that turns talent into a career. 80% of first jobs come through personal and professional connections most immigrant families don't have yet.
