our partnership with america achieves
Align Wisconsin is proud to have America Achieves as our inaugural funder, which is providing us a start-up grant, technical support, and guidance as we launch our organization.
America Achieves is a national nonprofit organization working to help local communities and states ensure everyone has a clear path to a good job, no matter who they are, where they live, and whether or not they have a college degree. America Achieves’ Good Jobs Economy initiative partners with states, regions, and local workforce and economic development intermediaries to design, fund, and implement the programs, strategies, and systems that create sustainable pathways to good jobs.
“Wisconsin is experiencing a major disconnect: employers are struggling to fill open jobs, including in health care, manufacturing, skilled trades, and technology, just as so many people are looking for good jobs. At America Achieves, we have seen non-profits like Align Wisconsin partner with industry, along with education and training institutions, to turn this challenge into tangible progress, giving people access to good jobs and employers access to needed talent. Align Wisconsin is poised to play just that essential role in Racine and southeastern Wisconsin.”
