“We realized in the nonprofit space that businesses just didn't take us seriously,” says Sean Segal, co-founder and CEO at Escalate. “We knew that if we were really going to get to the scale that would impact systems change, we had to solve a business problem for enterprise companies.”
WorkingNation sat down with Segal at SXSW EDU 2024 in Austin.
Escalate is a skilling and support platform that addresses frontline turnover. Segal says the goal is to demonstrate that people without college degrees are productive members of the workforce, “What we're doing is a focus on essential skills. What they need to keep their job for the first three months, but then diving into the pathway and get them re-skilled.”
