When people have economic stability, they show up for work and contribute to their communities. They vote. They mentor. They build. As OICA trains thousands of people across the country, the result goes beyond individual careers. It becomes civic infrastructure, with measurable economic impact at the community and national level.
- 42 community-rooted training partners across 26 states—reaching people in underserved cities, rural communities, and the places our economy has left behind
- $129 million in anticipated economic impact by the end of 2026 from the Sullivan Training Network alone
- In just one community, training 1,600 people in six months can add over $73 million to the local economy (OICA estimate)
- 60+ years of proof with more than 2 million people trained
