A Unique Voice Bridging Business and Policy to Shape the Competitiveness of the Workforce and Workplace

Corporate Voices for Working Families, a leading non-profit buisness membership organization, engages the business community in advancing postsecondary education completion and workforce readiness training through its Learn and Earn initiative. This initiative seeks to identify, promote and encourage innovative partnerships between employers and community colleges to help low-income young adults earn a living while continuing their education.
