Training The Street (TTS), the leading corporate training provider for Wall Street firms and top-tier business schools, is pleased to announce the completion of the first phase of its strategic partnership with Braven, a national nonprofit organization founded in 2013 with a mission to empower underrepresented college students on their path to a strong first job and economic mobility. As a first step in the TTS /Braven Partnership, Braven Fellows had the opportunity to attend virtual TTS public courses. TTS team members also participated in Braven’s mock interviews in the spring.

“The success of our partnership with TTS provides a significant boost to our Fellows who are interested in working in finance,” said Aimée Eubanks Davis, founder and CEO of Braven. “In addition to developing the skills necessary for a career on Wall Street, this unique opportunity helped our Fellows build their professional networks and hopefully will open doors to strong opportunities across the financial services sector.”
Braven Fellows applied for scholarships in the Financial Statement Analysis public course, which helps students become familiar with accounting basics, as well as spots in the Undergrad Bootcamp public course. The classes offered valuable foundational skills to Braven Fellows who were interested in developing business and leadership skills for their future careers. The Braven Professional Mentor Program, which TTS employees were invited to participate in, matches Braven Fellows with working professionals to further engagement and allow Fellows access to trained professionals for advice and career development.
