Toward a 21st-Century Workforce: The Job Opportunity Investment Network
Abstract
SummaryThe Job Opportunity Investment Network (JOIN) is a regional fund that unites Greater Philadelphia businesses, workers and social investors to build pathways out of poverty for low-skilled adults. Greater Philadelphia is currently experiencing parallel workforce crises: businesses in the region are unable to fill good jobs at the same time that an alarming number of residents are unable to find employment. The root cause of these crises is the mismatch between the skills required for the jobs of the future and the much lower skill level of many Greater Philadelphia residents. JOIN invests in industry-led partnerships that simultaneously address both crises by preparing low-skilled workers to fill available mid-level jobs. Through these partnerships, JOIN enhances the region’s workforce system to better meet the needs of 21st-century workers and businesses.
