Building Workforce Futures Together
We are funders, practitioners, and employers aligning around industry-driven workforce pilots and a shared learning agenda across NY, CT, and additional states. Collaboration first—no single program promotion.
Why now
Rooted in purpose, growing together.
- Shifting labor markets and funding gaps demand coordinated, field-level learning.
- Employers need talent pathways that translate to living-wage roles.
- Pilots exist—what’s missing is shared questions, comparable data, and scaling.
Coalition commitments
Shared learning
Agree on 3–5 questions (e.g., which models best connect youth to jobs; credentials + employer partnerships that persist).
Pilot & compare
Support industry-driven pilots (NY, CT, + others). Pool or align funds; standardize light-touch metrics.
Open insights
Publish brief notes/tools for the field; propose a PEAK session to share results.
How it works (draft)
- Time-box: 9–12 months, with quarterly share-outs.
- Structure: small steering huddle (funders + practitioners + employer rep).
- Funding: pooled or aligned—your choice; focus is on learning, not attribution.
- Geography: New York, Connecticut, and at least three additional states.
- Fit with apprenticeships: aligns with related instruction + employer-led projects.
Interested?
PEAK members: reply to the discussion thread and e will set up 30-minute scoping call with interested parties and draft the shared learning questions.
