CJC works to improve access to good jobs, wraparound workforce and employment benefit services, improve skill-building programs, and foster quality job creation that benefits the people who need a job the most.

A job should provide fair wages and opportunities for professional growth. We work to ensure that people seeking to expand their basic skills can access education, training, and supportive services.

We work to ensure jobs specifically for economically disadvantaged groups. As we adapt our economy to a changing climate, it must also benefit those who have historically been excluded from economic growth.

Investing in all workers, employers gain from a more educated workforce. Structuring funding at the Federal and State level that is consistent, adaptable and relevant to the changing needs of the economy safeguards everyone’s professional progress no matter what situational changes they encounter during their careers.

We also believe that funding social enterprise, entrepreneurship, and worker-owned businesses creates unique opportunities for people who have trouble securing stable jobs.

We focus our policy and advocacy around improving overall labor and employment issues within the workforce ecosystem. 

We work to improve how the various laws, policies and systems within workforce align and communicate to ultimately benefit the job seeker.
