Speaker: Kim Nichols, CEO, Franklin Apprenticeships
Meet Kim
Kim Nichols: Hi, I'm Kim Nichols, CEO of Franklin Apprenticeships and I'm so excited about the meaningful work Franklin is doing. We really are unlocking the potential of the American workforce, and we're doing it every day in two ways: We're helping employers to fill mission critical tech roles. And we're giving individuals from all walks of life - many with no college degree or tech experience - a path to a new tech career.
And the best part is...
Kim Nichols: The best part of my job is seeing the outcomes of all of our hard work, seeing individuals be successful in careers they never thought possible, and that is resulting in the changing of family trees.
Kim Nichols: And we do this as a team that's completely aligned in our values. We put people first, we're driving toward a massive impact. We have this deep passion and belief in the positive change that we're making.
What does she want the world to know about Franklin?
Kim Nichols: Franklin is leading the way as the gold standard when it comes to delivering high quality tech apprenticeships. Our proven model really does work for employers, including many Fortune 500 companies we're serving today, and it also works for individuals, many from diverse and underrepresented populations, many with no college degree or tech experience. So we are truly unlocking the potential of the American workforce.
