Now, more than ever, corporate and higher education leaders recognize the role the business community should play in the preparation of a highly skilled workforce to preserve the nation's competitiveness and economic opportunity in response to swift technological change and increasing global competition. This report examines how Travelers (Community Relations, Human Resources and other staff), K-12 and postsecondary education partners and community stakeholders are collaborating to provide a supportive ecosystem that allows historically underrepresented students to attain bachelor's degrees and gain entry into the insurance and financial services industry. Travelers EDGE can provide important insights for leaders in higher education, business and policy on increasing opportunity for the most vulnerable populations of students to succeed in college and successfully transition into the workforce.
