Empowered Careers Start Here: Partnering for Workforce Impact

Making a lasting change in the workforce nationwide

At The DeBruce Foundation, we work with mission-aligned organizations to make a real, lasting difference in our workforce. Rather than focusing on grant-making, we develop research-based career tools and offer them to our community and beyond.

Fueling your impact with free career tools, training, and support

We partner with organizations that use our career tools in their programs, classrooms, or services. As a partner, we provide career-building tools, training for your team, and support to integrate the resources into your mission.

For most school and nonprofit partners, we provide these resources completely free as part of our charitable mission.

Together, we empower careers

Our Employment Empowerment research shows that building Career Literacy and Network Strength can be a game changer. It results in careers with better pay, more job stability, better benefits, and more. That’s why we created tools like the Agile Work Profiler^© to build Career Literacy and why we team with organizations that help people build strong personal and professional connections.

When we work together, we expand opportunities, build empowered careers, and make a bigger impact on economic growth and opportunity for all.

How we define a successful partnership

A partnership should be a win-win. We select partners that align with our mission, goals, and impact. If your organization can say ‘yes’ to these questions, we’d love to hear from you.

• Alignment: Are our organizations’ missions aligned?
• Access: By partnering, will more individuals have access to career resources and opportunities to build empowered careers?
• Acceleration: Will our collaboration accelerate both organizations’ goals?
• Accountability: Will your team work with us to measure the impact of our collaboration, leading to greater insights for both teams?
• Allocation: Will this partnership allocate resources in a way that best uses them for impact and program sustainability?
