UpSkilr

There is a growing skills gap in the US that will leave millions of jobs unfilled in the coming years, which will disproportionately impact low-income workers of color. To close this gap, we need to provide opportunities for job-seekers to build new skills and connect to employers looking for those skills. UpSkilr is the first web-based workforce development platform that makes customized matches for job-seekers and employers to skill-building programs in their local labor market.

Specifically…

1. We feed in real-time employment data to show job seekers in-demand jobs and career pathways
2. Using our platform, job seekers can find career paths that are best suited for them based on their current skills and career interests
3. Then, our ai-driven algorithm can connect them to training programs where they can build those skills and connect to local employers looking to hire that skillset
