Since partnering, The School Outreach Company has been pivotal in supporting Lockheed Martin’s Early Careers D&I strategy. They successfully sourced our key demographic requirements and are now continually seeking opportunities to promote us as an employer of choice. Off the success of our initial campaign, we have already increased the scope of our original contract. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
