Elevate Workforce Academy helps women enter, return to, or advance in the workforce through digital workplace training, career coaching, responsible AI productivity skills, hands-on projects, and preparation for selected third-party credentials.
Elevate is designed for women who want practical support—not vague motivation. Participants should be prepared to attend, complete assignments, accept feedback, practice new skills, and take ownership of their career plan.
Every participant begins with the same workforce foundation. From there, she selects a pathway based on her goals, experience, strengths, available time, and realistic employment opportunities.
Preparation for roles that help offices, teams, and organizations stay organized.
Preparation for roles involving schedules, documentation, communication, and follow-through.
Preparation for support roles involving invoices, transactions, spreadsheets, billing, and records.
The program combines career planning, workplace technology, responsible AI use, professional materials, and a personalized next-step plan.
Identify strengths, interests, barriers, goals, and the most realistic career pathway for your next step.
Build confidence using common tools found in offices, remote workplaces, nonprofits, and small businesses.
Use AI as a support tool while checking accuracy, protecting sensitive information, and applying human judgment.
Create professional materials and practice how to communicate your value to employers.
Leave with a clear plan for employment, education, external credential preparation, and continued growth.
Our goal is for every participant to finish with practical tools she can use immediately.
Updated and tailored for today’s hiring process.
A stronger professional online presence.
Work samples that demonstrate practical skills.
Practice answering common questions with confidence.
Experience with common business technology.
Responsible ways to use AI in professional settings.
A personalized roadmap for the next 90 days.

Elevate is designed for women seeking to enter, return to, or advance in the workforce. Final eligibility requirements can be adjusted by cohort based on funding and capacity.
The current model is approximately six weeks, though the exact schedule may vary by cohort.
Cohorts may be online, in person, or hybrid. The format should be clearly stated in each cohort announcement.
The cost should be stated separately for each cohort. Scholarships or no-cost participation may depend on available funding.
Elevate provides workforce training and may help participants prepare for selected third-party credentials. Elevate does not award an industry credential.
No. Elevate provides training, career materials, planning, and support, but employment decisions are made by employers.
Not necessarily. The program can support beginners, but participants must be willing to practice and complete assignments.
Available follow-up may include job-search check-ins, interview preparation, credential guidance, education referrals, and shared opportunities when available.
Build modern workplace skills, create professional career materials, and leave with a clearer plan for what comes next.
