Funding rules, reporting requirements, and performance targets decide whether your workforce programs hold up.
We help workforce boards, agencies, education systems, and employers meet those requirements and use them to build programs that get people hired and keep them employed.
Who we work with
Workforce development boards · State and local agencies · School districts and CTE programs · Community and technical colleges · Employers and industry boards · Nonprofits and community organizations
What you get
- A funding and compliance map showing what you have, what’s required, and where the gaps are
- Reporting and documentation systems your team can run without us
- A coordinated plan across partners with shared metrics and clear ownership
- A data view leadership can actually use.
How we work: Capacity-First Workforce Design™
Capacity-First Workforce Design™ starts with people, not programs. Before we build a pipeline or write a policy, we build the workforce’s capacity to succeed in it: the soft skills, the unwritten rules of the workplace, and the judgment and emotional intelligence that separate a capable employee from a trusted one. Then we give our partners the curricula, tools, and resources to sustain it.
Policy and funding only produce results when the people inside the system are ready to carry them out. Capacity-First Workforce Design™ builds that readiness into the program from the start, so compliance and performance rest on a workforce that can deliver.
What we do
Grant strategy and funding alignment
We map your funding streams to your actual priorities, find gaps and overlap, and build applications and budgets that stand up to review. Most funding problems are alignment problems, not shortage problems.
Compliance and reporting systems
We build the processes, documentation, and reporting structures that satisfy federal, state, and local requirements, including WIOA performance measures, so audits and monitoring visits are routine instead of stressful.
Cross-agency and cross-institution coordination
When education, workforce, and employer partners run parallel efforts, participants fall through the gaps. We align the handoffs, shared metrics, and referral paths so fewer people get lost between systems.
Workforce data and performance intelligence
We connect your program, labor market, and outcome data so leadership can see what’s working, forecast demand, and make decisions before the reporting deadline, not after it. Where AI tools help, we use them with clear human oversight and documented safeguards.
Access and participation strategy
We design outreach, intake, and service models that reach job seekers with barriers to employment, in line with your funder’s requirements and current law.
