Our Programs
Workforce Development
Building toward industry-aligned training and apprenticeships that lead to careers, not just jobs.
Overview
Why workforce development matters
Employers across construction, healthcare, logistics, and clean energy report thousands of unfilled roles while talented residents remain locked out by cost, childcare, and transportation barriers.
Thrive intends to design training with employers at the table so every credential maps to an open role with a family-sustaining wage, and to stay with participants well beyond placement.
Program goals
- Train residents in high-demand occupations with employer-verified curricula
- Connect graduates to quality jobs quickly after completion
- Champion family-sustaining starting wages across every pathway
- Support graduates through their first year on the job
