ARE YOU READY TO LEVEL-UP?
Whether earning a college degree or gaining new skills, we help get you ready for the next level
Do you need assistance finding a college or workforce program that is right for you? Many adult learners face challenges in balancing their learning and career goals with responsibilities and demands on their resources. These challenges often prevent them from completing postsecondary credentials or from seeking career advancement opportunities. Graduate Philadelphia resources, advising services, and wraparound support network help adult learners to navigate options, enroll in programs, identify financial resources for learning, and benefit from persistence to completion support.
We help advance social and economic mobility of non-traditional adult learners through postsecondary degree attainment, workforce advancement, and living wage employment.
Our work centers on increasing postsecondary credentialing for adult learners in the Greater Philadelphia region, by engaging learners, employers, higher education, government, organized labor, workforce development entities, community based organizations, and social service providers to align existing resources, remove barriers, and create new pathways to completion.
Graduate Philadelphia holds a unique ecosystem view of adult learner, higher education, employer, and workforce development needs that drives programmatic impact and influences systems level change.
Advancing social and economic mobility for underrepresented communities via degree completion, workforce credentialing, and community engagement has a lasting impact on public health, community safety, and economic vitality.
Providing pathways to postsecondary credentialing and skills development cultivates a diverse and robust workforce for Philadelphia and the region.
