At Connections Workforce Development Group, we leverage over 65 years of collective experience to meet the unique needs of our community. Our grassroots recruitment efforts target underserved areas, ensuring access to our diverse trade-skill classes, which help bridge the opportunity gap and address local income disparities. We are committed to advocacy, working with state legislators to secure resources and promote policies that benefit the community. Additionally, we secure grants and partner with businesses to cover the cost of training for low-income individuals, making education and skill development accessible without placing a financial burden on participants. Our holistic approach includes soft skills training, personal development activities, and a focus on community safety through alternatives to gun violence. By building strong relationships with employers, we facilitate job placements and career opportunities for graduates, contributing to the long-term economic stability of both individuals and the community. We measure success through employment placement rates, income growth, and participant satisfaction, continually refining our programs to ensure measurable, lasting impact.
