About Opportunity@Work :

Opportunity@Work is a national nonprofit whose mission is to rewire the labor market so that STARs, workers who are skilled through alternative routes instead of a bachelor’s degree, can work, learn, and earn to their full potential. By 2030, Opportunity@Work aims to enable at least 1 million working adults in America to get hired into middle- and high-wage jobs, thus generating a $20 billion boost in annual earnings.

We are driven by a firm belief that “if you can do the job, you can get the job.” STARs earn valuable skills through pathways like military service, community college, talent development programs, partial college completion, or on-the-job experience, instead of through a bachelor’s degree. STARs are half of the U.S. workforce, yet over the last few decades they’ve been blocked from accessing millions of good-paying jobs – and have actually seen their wages decline.
