Type and Scope of services to be performed:

The goal of WORKNOW is to create a partnership that supports the development of a local worker pipeline for infrastructure construction job opportunities through collective career information, education and training, and employment or navigation services.  This partnership believes in the efficiency and effectiveness of collaboration between for-profit and non-profit organizations; government and non-government organizations; community- and faith-based organizations; business; education; and labor in developing a quality workforce and sustainable neighborhoods.

 

Launched in 2017, WORKNOW exists to coordinate community-centered hiring on infrastructure projects to improve access for local residents and to provide project contractors with a pipeline of local workers in craft and professional service positions.

 

As a co-founder of WORKNOW, the City & County of Denver is a one of the Colorado Resource Partners (CORE Partners), an alliance of organizations. With partner funds and leveraged dollars, WORKNOW was launched through the existing infrastructure of the Community College of Denver’s Center for Workforce Initiatives (CWI) to achieve three main objectives:

 

                     Foster demand-driven skills attainment and employment using regional infrastructure projects as a catalyst

                     Enable upward mobility for all metro Denver residents and families
