Pittsburgh Promise Works to Bring College Grads Back Home from Imagine Pittsburgh Now

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette recently profiled efforts by the innovative program to assist its college and tech school grads with career fairs, interview trainings and networking opportunities, while the New Pittsburgh Courier highlighted a mentorship program of 150 African American male high school students interested in participating in the Pittsburgh Promise. (Here’s another story about getting those students “Promise Ready.”)"
