Seattle Skills Building Initiative
A consortium of regional foundations and public agencies has engaged FutureWorks to lead the design and establishment of a new “one system” approach to workforce education and training for low-income adults in the Seattle region. The goal is to double the number of low income adults gaining postsecondary credentials in just five years and remove barriers to continued expansion of education, training, and support services that work for low-income working adults. FutureWorks is helping to build an investors’ collaborative to align grant-making strategies and create a pooled investment fund. FutureWorks is also helping develop an employer engagement strategy and a policy advocacy agenda.
