Usher’s New Look, a non-profit organization founded by Usher Raymond
IV, today announced their partnership with Accenture to help New Look
reach its goal of training and certifying 50,000 youth as global leaders. The effort reflects Accenture’s Skills to Succeed corporate citizenship initiative.
Over two years, Accenture is supporting New Look with a more than
$900,000 contribution, which includes a cash grant as well as pro bono
support to develop iLEAD – an online, interactive, curriculum-based
platform that will provide data management and tracking for students and
parents as they move through New Look’s four leadership pillars – talent, education, career and service.
Through the iLEAD platform, New Look will be able to better track the progress of enrolled students. It will also support developing leaders in schools, raising graduation rates and preparing youth for college and career readiness.The platform will align with national public school, career training and development standards.
