THE BLACK HEIGHTS PERSPECTIVE
“Willing to train the right candidate” is a phrase job seekers at any level are all too familiar with. But what makes someone right? Can the candidate provide remote IT support? Oversee cybersecurity initiatives? Train employees on internal software programs?
More often than not, the “right candidate” possesses soft skills such as verbal and written communication, and conflict resolution through negotiation. In other words, the value-added skillsets that make an individual marketable and essential to a company’s success skills a prospective employer won’t provide training for, and yet, are essential to the job seeker’s success.
That’s where Black Heights comes in.
Black Heights is the older sibling to every job seeker that has felt overlooked, out of place, and dispensable. Created by an IT professional with a unique yet all too familiar experience with navigating the complexities of a corporate environment, Black Heights gives students and professionals a leg up with world-class professional development.
The result? A Corporate America that matches how the world looks. From junior level employees to C-Suite executives, the industry will have talented, ambitious high achievers, and success will don a more diverse, inclusive face.
