We’re making economic mobility a reality for millions of Americans — one company at a time.
Over 100 million workers will need to reskill in the next decade to secure their spot in the economy of the future. Here's Sherry's story.
When Sherry got pregnant at 15, she had to drop out of high school.
Sherry is just one of the tens of millions of Americans who struggle to advance in their careers because they lack access to education and professional support. Meanwhile, companies constantly work to fill open roles due to employee turnover and a lack of qualified candidates.
Landing a job at Tyson Foods opened the path to a new career.
When Tyson Foods hired Sherry as a machine operator, she didn’t just start a new job; she started on the path toward a new life. Through Tyson’s partnership with Guild, Sherry was able to earn her high school diploma while continuing to move up in the organization.
From high school dropout to production supervisor, on track toward college.
Since starting at Tyson Foods, Sherry has been promoted three times. She currently works as a production supervisor and is applying to colleges where she hopes to earn a degree in human resources.
Sherry’s success represents what Guild learners are achieving at scale. On average, Guild learners are 2.6x more likely to change roles within their companies compared to their colleagues who do not participate in the Guild benefit.1
