Partnership Spotlight

Wharton Opportunities for Reentry, Knowledge, and Skills (WORKS)

A diverse group of people standing together, holding banners for "Resilience Education" and "Wharton University of Pennsylvania". They are smiling and positioned in front of a red brick wall.

Resilience Education | Wharton WORKS is an initiative that launched in April 2023, led by Tierney Fairchild C’89 and Wharton Professor Damon Phillips. In partnership with Wharton CEO, this program aims to equip justice-impacted individuals with the tools and knowledge to thrive in their careers and personal lives.

Starting in Fall 2023, our MBA students have the opportunity to explore the challenges of mass incarceration and how the business community can help create pathways to jobs, economic growth, and positive change for those impacted by the legal system.
