The Skills Initiative, Powered by Accelerator for America

Many workers - especially women - are sidelined by poor job quality, limited advancement, and caregiving pressures. The Skills Initiative addresses these challenges by partnering with employers to design customized training programs, and place participants in high-quality jobs that have clear career pathways and match their goals and life circumstances. Together, The Skills Initiative and Accelerator for America are scaling this proven model to six communities, placing 400 unemployed and underemployed adults in supportive, equitable jobs in 3 years.
