Our proven model propels students into careers that lead to upward mobility and hope of inclusion in the American Dream. When people are determined to lift up their lives, STRIVE provides the path to a career that changes everything.Our Mission is to help people acquire the life-changing skills and attitudes needed to overcome challenging circumstances, find sustained employment, and become valuable contributors to their families, their employers, and their communities. Our VisionTHE CHALLENGEEven with a strong economy, 5 million adults were unemployed in 2019. That number has now risen to 11 million. The pandemic made a hard situation even worse for those who were trying to escape poverty, and damaged many families’ ability to make a decent living.There is a growing skills gap in the workforce. The job market has been changing rapidly. New technologies require that workers have more skills and companies are challenged to hire a skilled workforce. Workers need help to get jobs with growth opportunity, building America’s workforce and economy.53% of jobs need employees with skills beyond high school, but not a four-year degree. Yet the labor market is only producing 43% of the need.THE SOLUTIONSTRIVE closes the opportunity gap.Our results are proven. STRIVE helps a population seeking a better life acquire the skills and attitudes they need to find sustained employment. The majority of people who walk through our doors have no source of income, yet the majority of graduates go on to gain meaningful employment and achieve economic self-sufficiency.STRIVE has a 35-year track record of serving people who face the biggest barriers to employment. *Justice Involved: Individuals who were ever arrested, convicted, or incarceratedMore than a job.As the economy has shifted, STRIVE has continued to refine our model in order to equip our students with the skills they need to not just get a job, but obtain employment with career growth opportunities. STRIVE trains men and women in skills that employers need and that meet the demands of today’s workforce.THE STRIVE DIFFERENCEOur proven Five-pillar Model.STRIVE developed our proprietary, 5-pillar workforce model in New York and has continuously fine-tuned this model, gaining national recognition for our high job placement and retention rates. We achieve that difficult goal by addressing each individual’s personal barriers, and teaching them the interpersonal skills they need to succeed in any job environment.STRIVE has spent decades scaling our programming with partners across the nation and developing expertise in successful program replication. Affiliates in 12 cities now serve their communities with STRIVE’s proven model.STRIVE START (Success Through Attitude Readiness Training): This signature four-week program provides the communication, professional development, and behavioral training people need to not only land a job, but build a career. Delivered through a work-stimulated environment, STRIVE START focuses on attitude, accountability, workplace ethics, professional etiquette, resume and interview skills, and interpersonal skills.Occupational Skills Training: Our occupational training follows one of several career paths aligned with local labor market demand and employer needs. Training results in one or more industry-recognized credentials. Career Coaching: All STRIVE participants receive intensive, personal attention to identify and remove obstacles that stand in the way of their success in the workplace.Job Placement Assistance: STRIVE forges deep partnerships with employers and assists our graduates in securing jobs that are a good match with their skills and interests.Lifetime Support: STRIVE provides active follow-up support and retention services well beyond graduation. Many STRIVE alumni return for additional job placements, advancement training, and support groups as they pursue higher positions.Our model is a solution that works.A unique attitudinal approachOne of the “secrets” of STRIVE’s success is our focus on attitude. Before individuals receive occupational skills training, all participants must enroll in STRIVE START for job readiness training that instills the attitudes and behaviors people need for success in work and in life.Long-term, wraparound supportFor our participants, STRIVE represents support, delivered through comprehensive wraparound services designed to address personal barriers that prevent career growth. Even after graduates find employment, STRIVE continues its long-term commitment to the lifetime success of our graduates.STRIVE’s approach is transformational, not transactionalIt takes a comprehensive, holistic, personalized commitment to help each student succeed. When the student is transformed and excelling at work, their families and communities thrive as a result.Today, the need for STRIVE’s services is greater than ever. Despite a robust economy and a strong employer demand for workers with specific skills, gaps in income and economic opportunity are only widening for those in low-income communities. Too many are unable to participate in the nation’s prosperity.In this problem, STRIVE sees an opportunity… and has a solution. STRIVE has access to a pipeline of untapped talent for middle-skill jobs that are going unfilled—workers who are determined to succeed. We are ready with a comprehensive model that trains them in the skills and behaviors that employers need and that create a path to careers.STRIVE is bringing our nationally-recognized model to a new level in new cities across the country, with funding from the Gates Foundation. After an extensive strategic planning process, we have three goals as we embark on a period of growth:Elevate Programs through applying proven standards from STRIVE New York across all STRIVE sites and building more evidence-based practices.Build Careers by aligning and enhancing credentials in industries with high demand and a path to a sustainable career.Grow Impact by preparing 10,000 students for a career over the next five years and opening the first ever STRIVE-operated sites outside of New York.Partner with us to lend your knowledge, connections, and support as STRIVE empowers people across the country.
