Through this business practice, companies prioritize suppliers that intentionally hire and provide career development opportunities to people who otherwise have limited prospects for formal employment.

The Centers of Excellence aim to enable collaboration between members, enhance innovation, provide opportunities for education and training,  foster learning, and provide greater thought-leadership opportunities for members.
