During week 3, our Open Road team helped UpStaff--a Green Opportunities social impact start-up focused on workforce development and providing equitable employment for members of marginalized communities in Asheville-- create a workforce success toolkit for their current and prospective members. This toolkit included a Workforce Success Cheat Sheet, UpStaff Pledge, workforce development ‘best practices’ recommendations, and an updated UpStaffEmployee Handbook. The purpose of this toolkit is to help equip and empower UpStaff members as they transition into new work environments.

Ross Open Road supports social entrepreneurs across the country by giving MBA students the opportunity to apply what they have learned! This year, one Open Road team documented their journey through a series of vlogs.
