Our Why
At Aspira Consulting, we understand the systemic barriers that prevent underserved, first-generation, low-income students from achieving their career aspirations. Our training model embraces students’ multicultural backgrounds and views their lived experiences as an asset. By teaching students how to embrace their various identities, we recognize the importance of building students’ self-confidence as they prepare to enter the workforce. Through our programs, we foster a growth mindset and have students recognize and accept their individuality, creativity, and adaptability.
