Trusted Across Our Community
We have over 30 partners who help young adults move from training to sustainable careers. Employers hire, community organizations refer and support, and funders make it possible.
More Than Training
A Pathway to a Sustainable Career
Merge starts with two questions: what do employers need, and what does each young adult need to be ready? Then we build the pathway between them, from training and experience to employment and long-term success.
Understand the Opportunity
We learn what skills and roles employers need, and we meet each young adult where they are. For one person, that means resume building and mock interviews. For another, it’s hands-on training, certifications, paid work experience, or an apprenticeship.
The Merge Difference
We don’t stop at the job offer. Merge supports young adults before they’re hired, connects with the right employers, and stays engaged after they start. That ongoing relationship helps young adults build sustainable careers and gives employers a workforce partner they can rely on.
Five Steps From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be
Get Trained
Build the job-specific skills, professional readiness, and confidence needed for the opportunity ahead.
Gain Real Experience
Put those skills into practice through paid work experience, apprenticeships, and hands-on learning.
Connect with Employers
Get connected to employers looking for prepared talent and opportunities that align with your skills and goals.
Get Hired
Move into a job or apprenticeship that can become the foundation of a sustainable career.
Keep Moving Forward
The job is just the beginning. Merge supports young adults and employers after the hire, so careers last and grow.
