“Millions of Americans are being left out of the workforce — not because they lack talent, but because they lack access.”
To empower underserved individuals with hands-on
trade training that leads to sustainable careers.
To empower underserved individuals with the education, skills, and connections needed
to secure meaningful employment in the trades — helping them build sustainable careers,
strengthen their communities, and break generational cycles of poverty.
We do this by:
Providing accessible, affordable trade training programs in high-demand fields.
Partnering with local employers, unions, and city programs to ensure training leads
directly to jobs.
Offering wraparound support — mentorship, life skills coaching, and career guidance
— to remove barriers to success.
A North Carolina where every person, regardless of background, has access to pathways that lead to
stability, prosperity, and pride in their work.

city grows stronger.”
