JFF is helping the communities develop critical capacity and systemic infrastructure—particularly at the postsecondary education and employer levels. JFF also supports clarifying and strengthening the design, implementation and improvement of industry-aligned pathways, with a focus on:

  1. Postsecondary engagement and pathways alignment
  2. Employer engagement and work-based learning
  3. Governance and infrastructure
