Overcoming Underemployment

About us

COOP is working to build a diverse movement of upwardly mobile first-gen college grads overcoming underemployment through digital skills and peer connections. We want to reignite our nation’s promise of upward mobility for those who strive to achieve a brighter future for themselves and their families—to ensure the American Dream is a reality for all. We will ensure that first-generation and low-income college grads make the connections they need for the careers they deserve. Across our sites in New York City, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami, we’ve launched 300+ cohorts since 2014, welcoming almost 4,000 alumni in our first eight years. Eighty percent of alumni overcome underemployment within a year, earning an average of $50,000 per year and almost $75,000 after five years. COOP aims to reach 10,000 alumni in our first decade, fueling upward mobility and fulfilling the promise of higher education. Join us at coopcareers.org.

    As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to spotlight one of our incredible champion partner: VaynerMedia! The supportive team at VaynerMedia has once again poured their time, energy, and dedication into bringing COOP’s mission to life. This exceptional partner exemplifies true collaboration across all three of COOP’s pillars: Head, Heart, and Hustle. This year, VaynerMedia leaned into the Hustle pillar by hosting two virtual Open Houses and hiring nearly 30 fellows into their Residency Program. They also supported the Heart pillar by participating in our Diversity Panel during the Spring Cycle. Additionally, they rounded out the Head pillar by sharing valuable technical expertise through their Paid Social Workshop, which served as a highlight for our fellows as they learned invaluable tips and skills. We are endlessly grateful for the passion and commitment VaynerMedia has shown to our partnership and we can’t wait to continue building amazing engagements together in the upcoming new year! Special thanks to Patrick Schaaf, Sena Y. and the whole VaynerMedia team!
