WORKING IN COMMUNITY

Today’s rapidly evolving economy requires a new way of preparing learners to enter the workforce, yet change can be challenging for the institutions tasked with preparing workers. We support K-12 education, postsecondary institutions and local employers – driving collaboration and building their capacity to empower learners for high-value careers and meet local workforce needs. 

Your support will empower communities to prepare diverse learners for high-value, in-demand jobs. Join us in creating lasting change. Contact us today to explore how we can partner to reshape education-to-workforce pathways.
