Gerald Chertavian Business Quotations

When it comes to expanding opportunity, businesses and young adults are not the sources of the problem - they are a substantial part of the solution.

As we say at Year Up all the time, investing in our young people is not just a matter of economic justice. It's good business sense.

The Opportunity Divide doesn't just keep our students disconnected from the mainstream economy; it prevents our businesses from growing.

The saying in business is that, 'You hire for skills and you fire for behavior.' And one would argue that in order to move up in career, to be promoted, to take on additional responsibility, in many ways that's linked more to the attitudes and behaviors that you carry rather than what you know technically about a given subject.
