GBI Foundation / Workforce development

Workforce development for underserved job seekers

This program is for people who need a practical path into stable work, not another list of job postings. GBI Foundation designs and funds training with local partners and says what the program includes before anyone is asked to join.

The problem this program addresses

A changing economy asks workers for current skills, a way to attend training, and an employer willing to hire someone who is new to the field. Childcare, transit, a thin local hiring network, and a long gap on a resume still stop capable people. A one-day workshop does not close that gap.

Who it is for

Adults seeking a first stable job or a new occupation. That includes people returning to work after caregiving, career changers, and residents of communities with few nearby employers. A seat in a cohort is arranged with the foundation or a named partner. This website does not sell training.

What the program includes

  • Training plans tied to jobs a partner employer will actually discuss with candidates, including technology support, health-care support roles, and skilled trades.
  • Schedules that respect caregiving, and referrals for transit or other barriers when a partner can offer that help.
  • Coaching after a hire, so the first months on the job are part of the program.
  • A written record of who was served and what happened, published on the Impact page only after the records are checked.

How GBI Foundation carries it out

The foundation's role is to set the charitable purpose, pay for the work it has funds to run, and stay with trainers and employers who already have standing in the community. This page does not state a job-placement rate. A rate will be published only for a named cohort, a named period, and a method a donor can read.

Read the mission and the impact and accountability pages before you give. Both explain what the organization is, and what it will not claim.

What your support pays for

A gift designated for workforce development pays for training costs, support the program has agreed to provide, and the staff time required to run the cohort honestly. An undesignated gift may be used for this program or for the foundation's other charitable work.
