The Doorway Project is a placement and coaching program funded through a mix of employer partners, foundations, and philanthropy. Together they cover the placement and the support, so a door opens for someone who was ready all along. The Doorway Project now runs as its own program, with a dedicated site for sponsors and candidates.
Hiring runs on networks. Referrals, warm introductions, who you already know. That is efficient for employers, and it quietly shuts out people who have the ability but not the access. Talent gets filtered out long before anyone looks at what they can actually do.
Most programs try to fix this with more training. We think the missing piece was never the skill. It was the door, and someone on the other side willing to open it.
Hire through the program, sponsor a cohort, or back the mission as a foundation or funder. We will find the right way for you to take part.
Companies fund placements and gain a pipeline of motivated, coached talent ready to contribute from day one.
Grants and gifts fund cohorts of candidates and the coaching that helps them stay and grow in their roles.
We work with organizations already serving the community to find candidates and surround them with support.
