Screening The Road Up is a powerful way to foster necessary but challenging conversations about inclusive employment and building a more equitable economy. Our robust screening guide will help you make the most of your event, with a detailed blueprint for hosting, prompts to guide your post-film discussion, and contextual essays about both Cara and the issues raised by the film.
This past December, The Conference Board partnered with The Road Up team to provide our audience with access to a screening of the documentary followed by a live panel discussion focused on making the business case for second-chance hiring. The experience served as a valuable capstone to the day’s various conversations centered around strategies to make the workplace more inclusive to all members of our local communities, including those like the formerly incarcerated who have all too often been left behind by society despite having paid their time and demonstrated a willingness to change.
Given the spirit of the holiday season in particular, The Road Up challenged our attendees to consider a very personal question: when did someone extend you a hand when you needed it most? Hopefully this film inspires many others to ask themselves the same and drives meaningful progress on this issue as a result.
The Road Up documentary screening and panel discussion at Google allowed us to bring Googlers from across the Chicago office together to learn more about a local non-profit, Cara. The film brought to life many of Google’s DEI initiatives including inclusive hiring, and gave attendees a better appreciation for Google’s certification and apprenticeship programs which supports Cara’s mission of connecting talent with jobs at leading Chicago companies. Participants left with a great deal of empathy for how difficult the job search process can be for those experiencing homelessness and poverty and felt inspired to hire more inclusively on their Google teams.
At Aon we had the opportunity to bring together a group of leaders across our many solutions lines to view The Road Up documentary and have a conversation about the many barriers that exist for those who have been impacted by poverty. This conversation allowed for greater understanding and enlightenment for those who watched the film. More importantly, we plan to use this documentary as an opportunity to bring vulnerability, education, and impact to our leaders and colleagues across Aon and the role they can play in more inclusive recruiting and employment.
A screening of The Road Up for the Corporate Responsibility team at JPMorgan Chase served as a rich and engaging virtual site visit. Despite our team being distributed across the world, we were able to come together to explore the different elements of Cara’s success – including robust leadership, rigorous programs, and vibrant community – and its participants’ inspiring stories. The Road Up offers tangible insights for our work in pursuit of racial equity and a more just society.
The Road Up screening at Aon created an opportunity for a robust discussion amongst leaders and allies of our Black Professional Network. Through this conversation we were able to use key themes and learnings from the film as catalyst for action around accelerating our Diversity and Inclusion agenda and exploring different ways to break down barriers within our own Aon United culture.
