The Workforce System Is Fragmented.

Good jobs and the people ready to fill them keep missing each other. The pieces exist. They just aren't connected.

ChooseU aligns the system.

Employers

Struggle to find prepared talent.

Communities

Struggle to access structured opportunity.

Apprenticeships

They exist, but without accessible on-ramps, many people are left out.

From Training to Career.

Six stages, one connected path.

1

Recruitment

We reach people in underserved communities through local partners who know them best.

2

Career Readiness & Leadership

Coaching and leadership development that prepare learners for the workplace, not just the test.

3

Industry-Recognized Credentials

Certifications employers ask for, like MT-1 and OSHA 10.

4

Paid Work Experience

Learners earn a paycheck while they put new skills to work on the job.

5

Full-Time Employment

We connect graduates with employer partners who are hiring.

6

Registered Apprenticeship Entry

A structured next step into apprenticeship and long-term wage growth.

We don't stop at certification. We build structured transitions.

Where Do You Fit In?

Every pathway needs learners, employers, funders, and community partners.
