In recent months, Teach by Tech has made significant strides in expanding its workforce development programs, especially in addressing the needs of adult refugees and immigrants in the Greater Denver area. We are proud to announce the launch of the Construction Career Pathways program, designed to provide critical job skills training for individuals seeking opportunities in the growing construction sector. This program, tailored to the unique challenges faced by adult refugees, is already garnering interest from community members eager to build sustainable careers. Moreover, we are working to incorporate professional development for instructors, ensuring they are well-equipped to deliver high-quality education and training to our participants.
In addition to the Construction Career Pathways program, our Manufacturing Bridge Program continues to see strong engagement. This initiative connects participants with critical manufacturing skills and directly aligns them with employers who value diversity and are committed to creating inclusive work environments. Through these programs, we are helping participants move from low-wage jobs to more stable, higher-paying positions, ultimately contributing to greater financial security for their families.
Looking ahead, Teach by Tech is working on new strategies to ensure the voices of workers and learners of color are incorporated into workforce policy and program design. We are currently applying for funding that supports these goals, which will allow us to deepen our engagement with the community and amplify the perspectives of those most impacted by workforce inequities. These efforts align with our long-term vision to see our former students and community members take on leadership roles, becoming key decision-makers in shaping the future of Teach by Tech’s workforce development initiatives.
