Our friends at the Harvard Negotiation & Mediation Clinical Program are working with the White House and the Department of Education on an exciting initiative to help community college students become more effective negotiators. From the press release:

Negotiation training can be critical in helping workers of any age secure a good job, salary and benefits – but many workers, especially women and those newly entering the job market, can face distinct barriers. Tomorrow, the Department of Education and Harvard Law School’s Negotiation and Mediation Clinical Program – as part of their program in negotiation training – are announcing the development of a new toolkit for community college students around the country to equip them with the knowledge and tools that will better prepare them for starting a career and successfully negotiating their first salary. In addition to being available for community college students, the toolkit will be made publicly available later this year – so will be an important readiness resource for all those newly entering the job market.

And check out the story in the Washington Post, here, also referring to the initiative.

Incredible work from Bob Bordone, Rachel Viscomi, and all of our amazing colleagues at Harvard.
