A new, innovative workforce collaboration is launching to pilot, test, and learn from how text-based wraparound services can improve outcomes for workforce development communities and their alumni. The partnership of Empower Work, a national nonprofit that provides text-based wraparound coaching and resources, with leading local and national organizations including Memorial Assistance Ministries (MAM), NPower, Per Scholas, SkillUp Coalition, and Year Up United, soft-launched this fall and is rolling out over the next two years with the generous support of Truist Foundation and GitLab Foundation.
