Workforce Development
Workforce Mission
To grow Black males' understanding and will to incubate consistent revenue and practices to maintain economic stability; through preparation and goal setting.
Tackling Economic Disparities
Black men in the United States face persistent economic challenges, including a significant wage gap. On average, Black men earn just 75% of what White men earn, a disparity that persists across all educational levels and most occupations. Black men are also more likely to face unemployment and, when employed, often work in low-wage jobs or industries vulnerable to layoffs. These inequities stem from systemic issues, including labor market discrimination, the enduring impact of historical injustices like slavery and Jim Crow laws, and limited access to quality education and opportunities.
Our Collective Impact
Our workforce development programs empower Black men to overcome economic barriers and achieve sustainable success. We provide comprehensive support to help participants secure employment, launch careers, or start businesses. Our services include resume writing, interview coaching, financial literacy training, and job placement assistance. Beyond initial placement, we offer ongoing guidance to ensure long-term success in their roles. By equipping Black men with the tools and resources they need, we aim to break down systemic barriers and foster economic empowerment.
