40th Annual Conference – National Association of Workforce Development Professionals

 

As Eckerd Connects gear up for yet another empowering National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWPD) Conference, we’re thrilled to announce our continued partnership as platinum sponsors for NAWDP 2024, taking place in the vibrant city of San Antonio!

Just like the iconic San Antonio Riverwalk connects the heart of the city, Eckerd Connects is committed to bridging the gap to brighter futures for individuals, families, and communities nationwide. Our dedication to workforce development stems from the belief that it is the cornerstone of strengthening at-risk communities, leading individuals towards education, training, and ultimately, financial stability.

At Eckerd Connects, we operate workforce development and Job Corps services in 19 states and the District of Columbia. Through strategic partnerships with over fifty workforce boards nationwide, we manage over $100 million in annual operating revenue, offering a comprehensive array of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our communities.

Our programs cater to a wide spectrum of individuals, including in-school and out-of-school youth, as well as priority populations such as young people involved in the juvenile justice and child welfare systems. From providing fundamental life skills to offering education, coaching, and mentoring, we strive to lay the groundwork for a better life for all.

As part of our commitment to empowering communities, we invite you to watch our dynamic video featuring NFL Hall of Famer Darrell Green and our inspiring youth participants: Click to Watch Video. Additionally, we encourage you to explore how we can make a difference in your workforce and community by visiting Eckerd.org/workforce or stopping by our exhibit booth #214.

Together, let’s continue to build strong individuals, families, and communities. We look forward to connecting with you at NAWDP 2024 in San Antonio!
