Partnering with TAF

Out of shared concerns come diverse solutions.

TAF partners are a collection of forward-thinking companies committed to ensuring all students have access to equitable public STEM education and career opportunities. TAF partners are allies and agents of change, providing much-needed financial, experiential, and volunteer support to our core programs. Collaboratively we can implement new strategies to share historically inaccessible resources with under-resourced communities of color and provide real-world experiences, industry skills, and ultimately, future career opportunities.

Our proud partners:

TAF@Saghalie student Feliciana and Zillow’s Government Relations and Public Affairs Manager, Anna Boone, share why corporate partnerships with public schools are so important.

The talent is right here.

Washington state currently has approximately 25,000 unfilled STEM-related jobs. Yet, finding qualified, local talent does not have to be an issue — there are capable but overlooked students ready to learn, innovate, and become company leaders, given the access and chance. It is our duty to empower underrepresented students of color in order to create more vibrant and diverse industries of top, not convenient, talent.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion continues to be a critical focus for companies across the country. TAF partners play an integral part in introducing students of color opportunities to new STEM career opportunities from forward-thinking, bold companies who understand corporate’s role in supporting equitable public education. 

Why partner?

TAF  partners recognize the importance of investing in early education to impact the future of hiring and company culture. Employee diversity is still vastly underrepresented and must be addressed. Workforce diversity can bring different perspectives and innovation to create unique solutions and problem solving. To help reduce the disparity in the STEM field workforce, TAF partners help provide a continuum of support to create career opportunities for Black and Brown scholars while aligning efforts with company initiatives and values.
