Center for Racial Economic Equity
Center for Racial Economic Equity
Occupational segregation and a vast Black-white wealth gap limit opportunities for success and advancement for Black learners and workers. Through research, thought leadership, network building, and advisory services, Jobs for the Future’s Center for Racial Economic Equity works to create a world where race no longer determines outcomes.
We take a solutions-first, data-driven, nonpartisan, and practitioner-informed approach and rely on a trusted network of cross-sector partners committed to promoting Black economic advancement.

We conduct research, offer advisory services, and partner across the ecosystem to ensure Black learners are entering and succeeding in high-value programs of study.
Eliminate Workplace Racial Discrimination
In collaboration with major employers, we work with corporations and industries to ensure Black workers are being hired, compensated, and promoted equitably.
Explore Social and Financial Aspects of Advancement
We develop strategies to invest in Black entrepreneurship, explore financial innovations, and identify supports to end the Black-white wealth gap.
