Our Advocacy

By joining CJC, you ensure the workforce development ecosystem has the advocacy, training, and collaboration it needs to thrive. Without CJC, there would be fewer opportunities to challenge inequitable systems, convene diverse voices, and equip practitioners with the tools to drive meaningful change. Membership not only sustains this essential work but also connects you to a community that multiplies your impact and strengthens the movement toward a more equitable future.
