Helping Communities Work is a strategic alliance of industry associations, community foundations and employers working in collaboration with the public and private sector education and workforce development systems. The objective is to align and achieve the socioeconomic goals and objectives of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 and related legislation.

Helping Communities Work integrates business and social entrepreneurship in order to attract and leverage government funding, place-based impact investing and philanthropic support. The strategy is designed to align early college high schools with internships, apprenticeships and other work-based learning and training models. The process integrates sector-based workforce strategies and the new collar jobs initiative. http://www.apprenticepower.us
