It is time for a new conversation about training.

The lack of leaders of color in corporate America isn't due to a lack of talent. It's due to a lack of opportunity.

The Partnership's acclaimed training programs teach professionals of color how to create opportunity---and leverage it into positions of power. In the process, we also help keep these professionals in Greater Boston.

NEW: Associates and Fellows.   Application materials for the Class of 2010 are now available.  Click here for information.

NEW:  Next Generation Executive. A six-month program that begins with a one-week residential session on the Harvard Business School campus. Additional components of the program include bi-monthly peer coaching sessions via conference call, and a 2-day culminating executive retreat.  Participants who complete the NGE program will further develop the skills necessary to reach the executive suite and thrive once there.  Launches June 2009.
