In the wake of rising displacement due to climate events and economic shifts, communities across the US are struggling to reabsorb affected families into stable employment.
EJWF launched a pilot program in Houston aimed at providing rapid vocational upskilling to displaced parents. Partnering with local businesses, we designed a 12-week certification track in logistics and digital administration—sectors with immediate hiring needs.
Within six months:
- 73% of participants secured full-time jobs
- Average family income rose by 28%
- Retention rates exceeded state workforce program averages by 15%
“When families regain economic stability, the ripple effects strengthen entire communities,” says Maria Cortez, EJWF Program Director.
