Workforce development

Skills that lead to a paycheck.

Five career pathways and nine certificate tracks, wrapped in housing support, counseling and mentorship. Built for work, and not dependent on a college degree.

Our model

The P.R.I.M.E. Framework

Five kinds of support, delivered together, so that a certificate turns into a career and a career turns into a stable life.
