Project details

What we need
  • Written recommendations to improve a specific process, including the controls necessary to maintain the revised process
  • An outline of key metrics for tracking how successful the process improvements are over time, with current-state benchmarks
Additional details

Hoping to move our program assets to an Airtable form for which we already have a template. Looking for someone who is familiar with this database and this process.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a template, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have an Airtable account, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,888 , allowing us to possibly provide stipends for our fellows

It will be the primary source of truth for the fellows over the course of the summer

Our mission

The Takeoff Institute is on a mission to democratize resources, mentorship and financial literacy for the black undergraduate population. We are built for black people, by black people, and have a deep understanding of the skills and training necessary to equip the future leaders of America that exist across our community. Our goal is to have every black student use this platform at some point in their academic journey, and return to it someday attesting that they built skills along the way that mattered greatly in the real world.
