WHY BECOME PTL PROGRAM SPONSORS?
Brand Awareness
Students are the bridge between the community and the business. Hosting just ten students could mean creating ten brand ambassadors who vouch for the company in the classroom and community. As a partner of PTL, companies can attract more customers and establish brand loyalty.
Goodwill
The intangible, yet crucial asset can be built by serving students, especially from underserved backgrounds. By giving students a rare and meaningful opportunity, companies can strengthen their reputational capital.
Talent Pipeline
In the long-term, businesses seek to have a steady inflow of talents. To meet this demand, PTL will expose future workers to emerging fields and broaden their horizons of the business world. By hosting students, companies can develop a future pool of talents and even incentivize them to return.
EXPECTATIONS
Create a mutually beneficial relationship with students
A sponsor's duty is to prepare students for the careers of the future. PTL expects our sponsors to guide students to work on an innovative project that's on the cutting edge of the industry.
Provide a company orientation
Almost all high school students are new to the professional world and need to understand the basics of working in a company: confidentiality, teamwork, and even basic professional etiquette. How much students can accomplish comes down to how deeply they are immersed in the company.
Assign an experienced employee to be a mentor
Mentors are crucial to the success of helping develop these students. Sponsors are required to assign a mentor who truly believes in the mission of PTL and the value of helping these students.
