Seattle Jobs Initiative is a nonprofit organization based in Seattle, Washington, focused on helping people build careers through equitable partnerships that address structural racism in the workforce system. Its stated vision is that every worker should have a career that allows them, their family, and their community to thrive. It offers career-start technical and performance skills training that connects to growing local industry sectors, coupled with wraparound supports to help participants complete their career journey and secure well-paying jobs. The organization also conducts policy, research, and evaluation to identify barriers faced by low-income individuals and to propose solutions that expand access to education and employment, while its consulting and technical assistance help governments, educational institutions, funders, and providers design more effective programs. SJI works with SNAP E&T programs at the state and local level, and in 2020 it partnered with the Oxford English Dictionary to offer technical and performance skill trainings.
