Aspira & College Partnership

We’re in it together! At Aspira Consulting, we believe in community and partnership.
Before kicking off a program, we’ll meet with you to:

Coordinate college activities, (e.g., career, mentor or college events) with accelerator modules

Ensure students receive credit for workshop assignments (with instructor approval)

Provide program certificates of completion to students

One of the best gifts we can give someone is the opportunity for them to grow in their potential."
