HELPING COMMUNITIES REACH THEIR TRUE POTENTIAL

Grant Associates is a workforce development company founded in 1997 as a consultancy to help businesses connect with an untapped labor force after welfare reform. Today, Grant Associates is a nationally recognized leader. Our own growth and success is a testament to our philosophy:  to be practical, sensible and inspirational. Grant Associates continues to redefine the landscape.  In partnerships with private and public sectors, we leverage resources in innovative and collaborative ways that produce results.

OUR WORK
CREATES OPPORTUNITY

At Grant Associates, we challenge conventional wisdom every day. We refuse to accept the status quo that those unemployed or out of the workforce system cannot enter the workforce — or that people who have an unfavorable background cannot be employed, and that there simply isn’t enough opportunity for high-earning jobs or advancement.

Here some of the programs we provide:

  • Employment, training and careers advancement services for adults, dislocated workers, and youth (WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker and WIOA Youth)
  • Job placement, education and training services for those on public assistance (TANF Job Placement and TANF Education & Training)
  • Training and youth development programs for young people who have left school or are still in school (WIOA In-School and Out-of-School Youth)
  • Coordination of service delivery among workforce partner agencies (WIOA One-Stop Operator)
  • Place-based programs serving residents of public housing developments
  • Sector programs focused on particular industries that target local and regional strategic growth priorities
  • Consulting services for the public sector and workforce boards including asset mapping, board engagement, sector strategy development and other topics
  • Technology consulting using our proprietary SymphonyNotes solution
  • Job placement, education and training programs focused on special populations (disabled, justice-involved, veterans, etc.)
  • Career and technical education programs serving high school students
  • Apprenticeship programs in coordination with particular industries
  • Business services programs for employers, entrepreneurs, small business owners and  larger companies

Why Work with Grant Associates

Innovation

We continuously pursue ways to challenge conventional wisdom and push the boundaries of what is achievable. We have introduced, to the cities we serve, such things as recruitment events, corporate level assessments, sector strategies that engage with education, and building the capacity of ex-offenders by changing how they view themselves. And we continuously research leading edge technology to improve how systems operate so that we can upgrade results and reduce costs, as in our pioneering work with Salesforce and how we track and share data.
