SuitUp is a 501c3 education non profit that increases college and career awareness and preparedness for students in underserved communities through innovative virtual and in person business competitions. Through SuitUp, students experience solving a realistic corporate challenge, such as designing a new product for Nike or solving a community problem through Snapchat. They have the opportunity to interact with corporate volunteers who coach them on the marketing, financing, and strategy before helping them pitch to live judges. By the end of the experience, students can see the corporate world as part of “their world†and know that job titles, such as CEO, VP of Marketing, Business Development Manager, etc. are now in their grasp.
