Executive Summary

We need more women, particularly women of color, in positions of power across all sectors to close the workplace leadership gap. The Kicking Glass Career Accelerator, a two-year transformational career-building experience, provides women college athletes with access, sponsorship, and connections to fast-track them into powerful positions. Women college athletes are a diverse group of high-potential women who have built the skills to lead, and are uniquely positioned to capitalize on early career investment. Research shows 52% of C-Suite women played sports at the college level. Yet, many athletes in this untapped talent pool face barriers that limit their career trajectory. Through innovative career boot camps, learning labs, micro internships, and mentoring, the Career Accelerator takes aim at early barriers and promotion inequities, resulting in more women advancing to powerful roles more quickly to close the workplace leadership gap, and expand women's power and influence.
