ENTITY Academy For Business
ELEVATING DIVERSE TALENT
ENTITY Academy closes the skills, confidence, and wage gaps that disproportionately impact diverse talent. Lost in the hybrid work era are the social and coaching cues that model soft skills and behaviors for success in the organization for early career employees. Soft skills are cited as the most in need by employers, and schools are not preparing students with the abilities they need to succeed in the workplace. ENTITY Academy delivers high-impact mentorship at scale to close skills gaps and inspire excellence.

OUR STORY
Established in 2016, ENTITY Academy’s modern educational methodology has helped close the skills, confidence, and wage gaps that disproportionately impact diverse talent. Today, ENTITY Academy is an upskilling and workforce development platform that trains, mentors, and helps early career talent grow and find success. We provide learning, inspiration, and motivation to diverse talent eager to become highly valued leaders in their organizations. Our goal is to accelerate the career launch of one million diverse employees through high-impact development programs.
Jennifer Schwab Wangers, the founder and CEO of ENTITY Academy, has one goal in mind: to empower diverse talent through mentorship. After leaving her job as a tax consultant at Ernst & Young to pursue her passions, and co-founding Sierra Club Green Home, a preeminent sustainable lifestyle website, she launched ENTITY Academy in 2016. Since then, she’s built ENTITY Academy to be the leading brand dedicated to educating, mentoring, and supporting diverse talent.
Proudly a minority and woman-owned organization.
