Leading with purpose, staying connected, and building pathways that open real opportunity.
ALUMNI & CORPORATE ENGAGEMENTAt Made in Durham, we believe that young people flourish when partners open doors that lead to lasting careers.
Our Alumni and Corporate Engagement team works closely with local employers to create internships, mentoring, and hands-on opportunities that help students move from learning to long-term careers. These partnerships give young people the chance to explore, grow, and step into roles where they can thrive. It is about collaboration that lifts the entire community.
This work is rooted in shared commitment. Because opportunity begins with partnership.
This is only the beginning.
The video you just watched is part of “Made in Durham Explained,” a series that offers a closer look at how we do our work. It is about the policy work, advocacy, and partnerships that help create opportunities for young people in Durham. Every step we take together helps open the door to the next chapter for someone in our community, and that is what keeps us moving forward.
This is connected work. We can change how Durham supports young people from education to employment, but it takes leadership, care, and commitment.
Let’s connect.
If you are part of a company, foundation, or philanthropic organization and are interested in exploring potential collaborations to make a positive impact in our community, we would love to hear from you.
