WHAT WE DO

The Workforce Leverage platform consists of structured employment services through a collective impact model that leverages social capital, social services, and technology.

Through the PCC platform, employers have access to a web-based application that includes a database of prescreened "Ready-To-Work" job candidates, and small and/or BIPOC businesses can gain access to resources, projects, and counsel.

WHY WE DO IT

Social Justice Initiative

Project Community Capital's Purpose

PCC is about uplifting people in low-income communities and serving the underserved. Black people are underserved and low-income in disproportionate amounts, and PCC was founded in order to create more opportunity and wealth for underserved people who are reliable, trustworthy, and ambitious, but have never been given a chance.

Summer of 2020

Social justice has been a core component of all public discourse since the summer of 2020. PCC expects to add to that public discourse by focusing on using a collective impact model that leverages technology, private industry resources, and government policy to deliver a solution based on best practices.  PCC will advocate influencing government policies that ensure investments are made in workforce development, education, and training. PCC will need to create consistent and ongoing messaging targeting politicians, government agencies, and think tanks in an effort to impact the budgeting process.
