A company on a mission: to help facilitate meaningful and transformative change
Rodriguez Collaborative envisions a world where diversity and equity are the norm and all individuals regardless of who they are or where they’re from have an equal opportunity for success.
A different perspective, a unique approach
It takes a variety of constituencies—educators and employers alike to achieve greater diversity in today’s private and public sectors. It also takes an expert like Rodriguez Collaborative to coordinate and facilitate the efforts to ensure measurable results.
Rodriguez Collaborative works closely with high schools, higher ed institutions, and corporate employers sometimes individually and sometimes in mutually beneficial strategic partnerships to provide the necessary services to improve retention and graduation rates, create career pathways, and support diversity goals in ways that are sustainable and transformative.
