Employer & workforce partnerships

You provide the opportunity. We help prepare people to succeed in it.

Pillars works alongside organizations that create pathways into employment, skilled trades, apprenticeships, credentials, and training.

A complementary role.

Employers and training organizations provide technical opportunity. Pillars strengthens the personal and professional foundation participants need to make the most of it.

We complement employers, training providers, workforce organizations, and placement agencies. We do not replace them.

Ways to work together.

  • Participant referrals
  • Career readiness programming
  • Apprenticeship and certification preparation
  • Workforce pipeline development
  • Reentry workforce initiatives
  • Community programming
  • Outcome and retention support
