Driving economic advancement through community college support

The PwC Foundation made a $6 million grant to Jobs for the Future (JFF), the largest education grant the Foundation has ever awarded. This grant addresses acritical challenge: the stark underrepresentation of Black and Latino/Hispanic workers in high-wage, high-growth industries. By working with community colleges, JFF aims to dismantle systemic societal obstacles and provide students with the skills, knowledge, and work-based learning opportunities that are essential for economic mobility.​​

Over a three-year period, the grant will enable JFF to identify and collaborate with a cohort of 10 community colleges, offering direct funding, technical assistance and coaching designed to connect 3,000+ students to paid work opportunities. This work aims to prepare students for meaningful careers and contribute to narrowing the racial wealth gap, fostering inclusive economic growth.​​

The Foundation’s grant to JFF demonstrates its commitment to scaling pathways to success for under recognized communities.​
