Expanding Our Reach to Support More Young People
Goal: Expand Job Corps and WIOA-funded workforce training programs for youth and adults.
How We’re Doing It:
- Strengthening employer partnerships to create real career pathways.
- Enhancing support for skills-based training and credentialing.
- Expanding Work-Based Learning (WBL) experiences to connect students with real jobs.
Eckerd Connects partners with Amazon to provide career pathways in logistics, technology, and operations for young adults and job seekers. Through this collaboration, we connect individuals with hands-on training, work-based learning opportunities, and direct employment pipelines at Amazon facilities across the country. By aligning our workforce development programs with Amazon’s high-demand career fields, we help individuals gain the skills needed for long-term success in today’s evolving job market.
Our partnership with CVS Health is a prime example of how public-private collaborations can create life-changing career opportunities. By working together, we provide pharmacy technician training, externships, and direct hiring opportunities for Job Corps students and workforce participants. This initiative not only helps individuals enter a fast-growing healthcare industry but also supports CVS Health’s commitment to building a skilled and diverse workforce.
