WHO WE ARE:
We are a funders’ collaborative, bringing together national, regional, and local investors to pool resources around a shared strategic vision for workforce development.

We serve employers and residents of central Connecticut in the Greater Hartford area, with a focus on:
- Job seekers whose educational level may not meet the requirements of the job market, women seeking to work in non-traditional careers, young adults, people of color, and others who face challenges such as a past record of incarceration.
- Employers located in Hartford and Enfield Labor Markets (north/central CT region) and/or regularly hire people who live in this region.
