Coalition for Workforce Diversity

Celina Roberts on August 5, 2022

The Coalition for Workforce Diversity helps supply local businesses with the help they need, while helping individuals with disabilities lead more productive and fulfilling lives. Partner businesses work collaboratively with Agency providers to support their candidates in getting and maintaining jobs. A monthly networking meeting is held the third Thursday of each month where business can present their openings to job coaches and agency providers. Both UPS and Best Buy have seen very positive results from working with the Coalition. Because their employees have been carefully matched to the positions they hold, these employees tend to excel in their roles. Furthermore, Coalition employees tend to have better attendance and more impressive safety records when compared to their workplace peers.

The Book Works advocates for and with young people who are disconnected from school and work due to educational disruptions, childhood trauma, racial or social discrimination, or economic hardship. Their mission is to promote equitable access to education and employment through programs, partnerships, information, and support services.

In their 250-hour “internship”, participants design and manage a book or literacy-related project that aligns with their career interests while learning skills relevant to both school and work.
