Founded in 2018, Keys to Success Collaborative has made a measurable impact on the community through connecting talent to employers and providing much needed workforce development programming to the unhoused community in Philadelphia.
After the implementation of “Housing First” by the Office of Homeless Services in Philadelphia, many shelters shifted to accommodate this priority and left workforce development on the wayside. With the formation of Keys to Success Collaborative, shelters were able to continue providing workforce development training and job placement services to their clients without reallocating funding, resources, and staff.
Keys to Success Collaborative has partnered with shelters and institutions across the city to provide high-quality, engaging workforce development programming to unhoused and housing insecure clients. By focusing on skill-building, providing necessary resources such as interview clothing, and approaching clients with choice-based collaboration, K2S has made an immeasurable impact on the unhoused community in Philadelphia.
