You are already funding this work. It is not connecting.
Colleges, workforce and economic development organizations, and communities are investing in education, training, employer engagement, and talent retention — often in the same county, toward the same outcome, through separate systems. We are the coordination layer between them.
What a partnership includes
Not software you are left to operate. A service, delivered by people, with technology underneath it.
Ecosystem assessment
What already exists in your community, who is doing part of this work, where the gaps actually are, and what is being left unused.
Employer outreach and opportunity development
Reaching employers who would host, and doing the work of turning a stated talent need into an opportunity a learner can take on.
Partner coordination
Getting education, workforce, employer, and community organizations working from the same picture instead of alongside one another.
Funding coordination
Identifying what pays for a placement — workforce dollars, scholarships, philanthropic support — and connecting it to the learner and employer who need it.
Pathway development
Building the routes from career exposure through education and training into work-based learning and employment, rather than one-off placements.
Outcome measurement and reporting
Participation, employer engagement, resources deployed, and where people end up — reported in the terms your board or funder asks about.
Three levels of partnership
Which one fits depends on how much of the network you are trying to move at once, not on the size of your organization.
Starter
One institution or one community testing whether this works here
- Ecosystem assessment
- Partner coordination
- Employer and opportunity development
- Basic implementation support
Regional
A region with several partners already active and no coordination between them
- Everything in Starter
- Ongoing employer engagement
- Pathway development
- Outcome reporting
Network
A multi-county network spanning education, workforce, employers, and community organizations
- Everything in Regional
- Customised strategy
- Multi-partner implementation support
- Expanded data and reporting
Why there are no prices on this page
An annual partnership is scoped to the community it serves, and we are early enough that publishing a figure would mean guessing at one before a single partner has paid it. We would rather tell you what a year looks like for your community and price that honestly. Ask, and you will get a number in the first conversation.
What the first year looks like
A partnership is a year of work, not a licence. This is the shape of it.
Month 1
Assessment
What already exists here, who is doing part of this work, which employers have talent needs they have not turned into opportunities, and what funding is going unused.
Months 2–4
Employer and opportunity development
Direct outreach to employers, scoping real work into experiences a learner can take on, and connecting the funding that makes hosting affordable for a small business.
Months 5–6
First placements
Learners matched and placed, with the coordination between education, employer, funding, and support handled rather than left to whoever notices it first.
Months 7–11
Ongoing support and pathway building
Staying with live placements — which is where they fall apart — while building the routes that make the next cycle easier than the first.
Month 12
Outcome report
Participation, employers engaged, opportunities created, resources and outside funding brought in, and where participants went next.
What we standardise, and what stays yours
A model that only works because one person knows everybody is not a model. A model that overwrites local relationships is not welcome. Both failures are avoidable, and the line between them is the thing we are actually building.
So you are not rebuilding it
- Employer intake and opportunity development
- Participant onboarding
- Funding coordination
- Data collection and outcome measurement
- The technology underneath all of it
Because it cannot be anything else
- The relationships with employers and institutions
- Which needs your community treats as urgent
- Who the trusted local operator is
- How this fits alongside work already underway
- The decisions about your own learners
Start with the assessment conversation
It costs nothing to find out what your community already has and where it is not connecting. That conversation is also how we scope a partnership and price it.
