School & Campus Partnership Strategy
Building an early-career pipeline takes more than good intentions. It takes a clear strategy for which schools to engage, what programming actually works, and who's responsible for carrying it forward.
TDC designs the roadmap: target schools and student populations, program structure, and a rollout plan built around your talent goals. Depending on where your organization is today, that roadmap includes either a plan to work with your existing team, or — if you don't have a people function yet — the specific roles and job titles you'll need to bring this to life, whether that's an HR manager, a DEI specialist, or a recruiting lead. Either way, you walk away with a clear next step, not just a strategy that sits in a folder!
You bring the goal. We build the roadmap. Your team — or the right hire — brings it to life.
What’s Included?
How it works
-
We identify what you're solving for: brand visibility, DEI engagement, or internship pipeline development and where your organization stands today.
-
TDC designs the target school and student population strategy, program structure, and a detailed rollout roadmap tailored to your goals.
-
If you have the internal capacity to run it, you get a clear plan to execute against. If you don't, I'll identify the specific roles or job titles you need and help you get the right person in place.
-
You own delivery, with a clear roadmap and the right people (internal or newly identified), positioned to run it.
