Industry & Occupational Strategies

Commonwealth Corporation helps employers build a competitive advantage by using data-driven, tailored grants designed to maximize impact with a focus on empowering diverse communities to solve their biggest workforce challenges. These programs aim to equip current and future generations with the tools they need to succeed in the marketplace by strategically investing in today’s most pressing workforce needs while creating a more equitable and accessible society. Incumbents and unemployed workers can each access the resources and networks they need to grow their career.

Workforce development and workforce training is so important—it is a structure that people can believe in, and that has a track record of being used wisely, efficiently and to the benefit of the people who it was set up to serve. The fact that it is maintained by Commonwealth Corporation gives a comfort level to all of us that the right things are being done. CommCorp has proven over and over again, that they have been really phenomenal stewards of that money.

Through a mix of in-person, hybrid, and virtual work experiences, innovative programming, dynamic partnerships, and comprehensive work readiness training, we meet the emerging needs of employers and foster career exploration for participants.
