The Organization
We are a national non-profit that has made ground-breaking progress developing the next generation of African-American, Hispanic, and Native American leaders in major corporations, non-profit organizations, and entrepreneurial ventures.

We are passionate about helping individuals achieve their full potential. It does so by equipping underrepresented minorities with the hard and soft skills, career roadmap, coaching, mentoring, and door-opening relationships required to become the high-impact business and community leaders of tomorrow. MLT creates value through structured programs:

Through one-on-one coaching, extensive skill development seminars, exposure to prestigious employers, and access to a vast alumni network, they are positioned for a powerful launch to their career.
• MBA Programs’ flagship program is the MBA Prep (MBAP) Program for young professionals seeking to gain admission to a top MBA program. By participating in extensive skill development seminars and working with both an admissions and professional development coach to clearly define their passions and career goals, they are positioned to use the MBA as a springboard to long-term career success
• The Career Advancement Program (CAP) is for senior leaders seeking to reach the C-level. In partnership with the Yale University School of Management, CAP has created a talent development curriculum to help mid-level leaders refine their problem-solving, relationship building, and communication skills.

These programs have successfully graduated over 2,000 alumni to date.
