Mission + Pillars
Requity’s mission is to break down barriers between vocational education and the workforce by preparing students to pursue their dreams and build the future they imagine.
Requity’s programs and projects are all built around 3 core pillars: Competence. Connection. Character.
Competence
A combination of practical and theoretical understanding, experience, and the capacity to adapt to new situations or challenges.
We believe that fostering competence equips individuals with the tools they need to navigate complex environments, tackle real-world issues, and contribute meaningfully to society.
By emphasizing competence, Requity fosters self-reliance and a culture of lifelong learning. It allows individuals to build the skills necessary to pursue meaningful careers, address pressing social challenges, and create sustainable change within their communities. Ultimately, competence empowers young people not just to succeed but to excel—leaving a legacy of innovation and impact.
Connection
Creating pathways to equitable employment and thriving futures.
In a world that demands more than just job skills and knowledge, our students are ready for the future and for success.
Students are focused on fulfilling dreams, not just securing jobs. They are exposed to a variety of opportunities including mentorship and guidance from corporate and community sponsors, internships, and interview preparation all designed to empower them to write their own stories and create their own futures.
Character
Applying classroom lessons
to real-world experiences.
Learning isn’t confined to the classroom, and taking students out into the community to learn is an essential part of our approach.
Students gain hands-on experience that complements and enriches their classroom experience. They work with real people on real problems making a tangible impact in their communities. Guided by dedicated teachers and industry specialists, they are equipped with practical skills and knowledge to pursue sustainable careers in their fields of interest.
