Philadelphia does not have a resource problem.
We have a connection problem.

Across the city, organizations are doing life-changing work every day — helping residents access workforce training, education, housing support, healthcare, reentry services, and economic opportunities.

But too often, individuals are left navigating disconnected systems on their own.

At OIC Philadelphia, we are working to change that.

As we expand our Workforce Hub model, we are bringing together mission-driven partners to build a more coordinated, responsive, and people-centered support network for Philadelphia residents.

Join us for the OIC Philadelphia Workforce Hub Partner Summit as we:
• Share the vision for our Workforce Hub
• Explore coordinated service delivery opportunities
• Discuss how warm referrals can improve participant success
• Identify partnership opportunities across North Philadelphia and beyond
• Begin shaping a collaborative network centered on dignity, access, and economic mobility

This is more than an information session. It’s an opportunity to help build a stronger, more connected workforce ecosystem for Philadelphia communities.

Stronger together. Greater impact together.

If your organization is doing work in housing, mental health, legal aid, childcare, reentry, benefits navigation, financial empowerment, or health in Philadelphia — this post is for you.

Philadelphia is not lacking organizations working to address the barriers that prevent people from reaching family-sustaining wages. Every organization in this post's audience is proof of that.

What we are missing is the infrastructure to connect us.

The people we all serve are navigating between disconnected systems on their own. And too often, that is where progress breaks down.

It is time to build something different. And that's where YOU come in.

A citywide warm referral network. Not a directory. A living system built on real relationships, shared accountability, and a simple belief:

Our outcomes are your outcomes.

On June 3rd, OIC Philadelphia is opening its doors and calling the meeting. Come be part of building what Philadelphia has been missing.

Join us from 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM for the Workforce Hub Partner Summit.
1231 N. Broad Street, Philadelphia.
