For generations, too many Black and poor Americans have been forgotten and kept out of our economy due to systemic inequality in education and access. At the same time, our country is experiencing a critical labor shortage, leaving employers in need of millions of skilled people. This demands urgent action. We must take advantage of this pivotal moment to build the economic power of a forgotten population.
OIC is building a direct line to economic power for America’s forgotten people, out of poverty, into new careers, and toward stronger communities. We are a crucial bridge to a new talent pipeline, from training to employer matching. We provide free high-quality training services across high-demand industries, creating opportunities for people to build economic power for themselves and their communities. We tailor our services to local economies, providing a geographic and cultural lens to this deeply personal work of ensuring economic justice for all.
