The Opportunity Network (OppNet) is working to create a first-of-its-kind employability framework and aligned measure tool that consists of human-centric (AI-proof), cross-sector, in-demand employability skills, and students’ individual and collective employability assets. In this ~year-long project, OppNet will contract a research practitioner who can take the framework OppNet has already developed and elevate it to integrate additional employability assets unique to and/or prevalent in first-generation communities of color that are known to correlate with career readiness and/or workforce entry and advancement. These employability assets will be gathered through primary research with young people of color in OppNet’s community. OppNet is thrilled to be soliciting proposals from prospective partners who can lead and perform this work!
I am writing to invite researchers from the We All Count community to submit proposals in accordance with “Request for Proposals: Development of Student-Centered, Anti-Oppressive Employability Skills Framework”.
