Blueprint Group’s Cortez Bryant chats about Assemble, a new online learning platform directed primarily at young BIPOC adults seeking insight, guidance and inspiration in their professional and personal pursuits.
“Representation matters,” says Bryant, Assemble’s CEO and one of its instructors. He’s also co-CEO of management firm the and teaches as well at his alma mater Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi. “The exposure that comes with seeing others like us who are building successful careers in various areas of this and other businesses is very important,” Bryant adds. “So when Cortney came to me with this powerful idea for Assemble, I said, ‘I’m in.
Now in preproduction with its next series of classes, Assemble will return later this year. To view a full course on the platform, users have the option of renting it for 14 days at $6.99 or purchasing the session for $69.99.
As Assemble continues to build out its curriculum to encompass businesses beyond music and entertainment, Bryant stresses the through-line will remain the same. “It’s not easy being Black or Brown in some of these and other fields,” he explains. “So we’re not here to sugarcoat anything. We want people to talk realistically about how hard they had to work, about how they confronted a particular challenge, what pitfalls to avoid.
“We want people to see all aspects of what happens, not just the work done behind the desk or the final product,” adds Woodruff. “The sky’s the limit for what we want to do with Assemble … like how about building the first HBCU campus in the Metaverse?”
