Together, we dismantle barriers faced by workers, transform career journeys, and improve job quality.
Shift Work Forward is a nationally powered, locally driven organization that partners with a dynamic network of regional workforce leaders to reshape systems of work and opportunity. We work to advance racial equity by reshaping the way workforce systems operate, so that workers, employers, and communities thrive together.
We collaborate with Network Partners who have deep knowledge of workforce issues in their local regions, and understand how racial inequity affects the people and communities they serve. Their local lens and expertise drive the critical work needed to help realize our shared vision in three focus areas:
Address systemic barriers to success in the workforce to ensure people have access to opportunities.
Transform career navigation and training systems to forge equitable pathways to good jobs.
Activate industry leaders to improve job quality in order to create more equitable workplaces.
By partnering with a dynamic network of regional leaders to convene, coach, and amplify what works, we’re building a future where every job is a good job, all workers have what they need to thrive, and race no longer determines career outcomes.
