SchermCo partnered with the Charles Koch Foundation to design and facilitate the Pathways Lab Convening, bringing together employers, workforce organizations, training providers, philanthropic partners, and community leaders to strengthen skilled trades pathways across the Charlotte region. Through strategic facilitation and ecosystem-building, our team helped stakeholders identify opportunities to better align workforce systems, increase employer engagement, and expand access to career opportunities. The convening created a foundation for ongoing collaboration focused on connecting more residents to high-quality careers while helping employers meet growing workforce demand.
