First, we keep our Rock ‘n’ Grow program, with donations of scholarships at Rock University. This is a way to support underrepresented people who have a monthly family income of less than USD $48,000/year. The C Level Executive Email Lists courses help most of our beneficiaries to develop their technical skills in Marketing, social media, sales, and customer success.
Analyzing the employment market, we also decided to create a new program — that was the brainchild of a former Rock Content employee — and focus on soft skills for young people starting their professional careers. Rockcamp was born! three months with Rock Content’s professionals to be more prepared for their career.
In this program, we don’t focus on scalability. Rather, we strive to be closer to these young people and enable growth in their soft skills and experience about how to behave at the beginning of their journey. In the pilot edition, in June of 2021, we had the participation of 15 students — from that, 33% got a job during or after the program — two of them work as young apprentices here at Rock Content.
To make these results possible, we needed to join forces with 15 partner organizations. This amounted to 1,698 volunteer hours from our employees.
For Helena Chang, our Product Director and participant in our Volunteer Week 2021, volunteering means “caring, passing on to others, and helping to create the same opportunities you had or would like to have had.”
Indeed, volunteering is a great strategy to engage, reinforce your culture, and develop abilities such as communication and leadership skills inside your team.
Achievements of diversity, equity and inclusion
Rock Content also holds several internal and external events connected to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).
We create internal policies and honor our Code of Conduct regarding discrimination. We run training sessions and campaigns focused on our employees’ well-being, health, and empowerment.
