Why the Foundation

We started the Dardis Foundation to bring this life-changing training to more young adults. Oral and written communication is the number one gap among graduating students, and our program provides hands-on, practical skills that students need and employers want.

Schools don’t have the resources or curriculum to deliver this type of training, which means these fundamental skills are deteriorating and getting worse. We need to get back to the basics as young adults lack confidence when it comes to taking the next step into the real world. All students, regardless of career aspirations, benefit from these life-changing skills, and the Dardis Foundation is here to help.

Giving Back

Developing people is our culture at Dardis. That’s why our company, employees, and our Foundation, work together to give back and develop young professionals.  Our charitable giving is based on a simple philosophy: by developing more people with the skills and tools they need to be successful in life, we are able to have the greatest impact on our future generations.  To date:

• We’ve donated professional training to over 1,000 students
• We’ve donated nearly $1M in professional apparel for students needing clothing for job interviews
• We’ve donated eLearning reinforcement to help ensure the skills ‘stick’

Learn, Earn & Return

Young adults face significant challenges as they transition out of high school and try to succeed in today’s competitive market.  Through our world-class training program, students gain the fundamental skills they need to be successful in the real-world.  Our graduates go on to be the best version of themselves, earn a respectable income, and return their talents and treasures to their communities.
