Greater Houston and its employers need the finest skilled workforce in the world to be a great global city in the 21st century. UpSkill Houston — an employer-led initiative of the Greater Houston Partnership — mobilizes the collective action of more than 200 critical stakeholders to strengthen the pipeline of skilled workers that employers need and to create better pathways to opportunity and prosperity for all Houstonians. Our focus is on the good careers in Houston that require skills beyond high school, but less than a four-year college degree.
Employers across Greater Houston are looking to hire qualified residents for good-paying careers that require skills beyond high school, but less than a four-year college degree. Nearly 1 million such positions exist, and the number is projected to grow. Yet employers face difficulties finding workers to fill these occupations.
Through research, analysis, and engagement with critical stakeholders, UpSkill Houston understands the barriers to attracting, training, and placing qualified workers in these careers. UpSkill Houston brings stakeholders together and helps them:
- Understand the skills regional employers need.
- Offer more effective career guidance.
- Enhance career exploration opportunities.
- Inspire people to pursue careers requiring skills beyond high school, but less than a four-year college degree.
UpSkill Houston has emerged as a leader for bold change by orchestrating the direct impact necessary to create a pipeline of skilled workers for the region’s employers and better pathways to prosperity for the region’s residents.
UpSkill Houston challenges employers, educators, community-based leaders, and public officials to join us in accelerated, collective action to grow the skilled workforce Houston needs to compete in the global, 21st century economy and create opportunity for all Houstonians.
