Merit America
The Organization: Merit America
The American economy is broken. Today, 53 million working adultsânearly half of the U.S. workforceâdo not earn a living wage. These talented workers have few options to advance: college is too long and expensive, full-time boot camp programs don't offer enough flexibility, and online courses don't have the structure or support to translate learning into a new career. The result? Talented workers, disproportionately people of color and women, get stuck in low-wage roles with no way to build a better life for themselves and their families.
Merit America is a national nonprofit that creates pathways to family-sustaining careers for Americans stuck in low-wage work. Our fast, flexible solutions are built for working adults: We start by analyzing tens of millions of job postings to identify in-demand, high-paying tech careers and then work with industry-recognized partners to train for these roles with part-time programs that combine flexible online learning with best-in-class coaching. Finally, we support our learners in their job search, helping them connect with a broad constellation of local and national employers such as JPMorgan Chase and Infosys to land higher-earning, family-sustaining jobs. Merit America is on a mission to build a scalable pathway for workers to join the middle class through merit, not money. Since our founding in 2018, we've generated a projected $1 billion in near-term wage gains for our learners.
Note: Merit America generally operates on a four-day workweek; however, due to the nature of executive support, this role follows a five-day schedule (MondayâFriday).
