Workforce & Enterprise Pathways
POP LABS connects community organizations, small businesses, entrepreneurs, residents, students, colleges, employers, mentors, and workforce partners. The goal is to create pathways where local talent can be developed, supported, hired, mentored, and connected to meaningful work.
Pathways That Connect People to Meaningful Work
We connect the institutions and individuals that shape a local economy — community organizations, small businesses, entrepreneurs, residents, students, colleges, employers, mentors, and workforce partners — so that opportunity reaches the people prepared to meet it.
Through these pathways, local talent can be developed, supported, hired, mentored, and connected to meaningful work that strengthens both households and the wider community.
