Gerald Chertavian (MBA 92) used the wealth he acquired in the 1990s Internet boom to realize a longtime goal. He started a special school to help disadvantaged young adults find careers in the corporate world.
Chertavians Boston-based program, called Year Up, consists of six months of training and education, followed by six months of apprenticeship at major area companies. Our model is based on high support and high expectations, Chertavian told the Boston Herald (September 7, 2004).
Chertavian, who runs the four-year-old program full-time, is excited about Year Ups recent expansion from Cambridge and Boston to Providence, Rhode Island. Im blessed, he said, to be able to do something that I have dreamed about and love.
