Many workforce programs end when a participant completes a training course or receives a certificate. Carry Me Productions was designed with a different goal: creating sustainable careers through continuous support, real-world experience, and direct employer engagement.
We Teach by Doing
Participants don’t just learn in a classroom—they work on real projects. Whatever professional track they choose, participants build professional portfolios and gain practical experience that employers can evaluate immediately.
Education Connected to Employment
Our Workforce Development Program is directly linked to our First Look Employer Partnership Program, giving participating businesses priority access to graduates before they enter the general job market. This creates a true workforce pipeline rather than simply referring participants to job boards.
Career Development Beyond Job Placement
We prepare participants for long-term careers by combining:
- Technical skills training
- Professional mentorship
- Resume and portfolio development
- Interview preparation
- Workplace professionalism
- Career coaching
- Ongoing employment support
Our goal is not simply employment—it is career advancement.
Individualized Support
Many participants face barriers beyond employment, including housing instability, transportation challenges, financial hardship, or limited professional networks. Our advocates work alongside participants to identify barriers and connect them with community resources that increase the likelihood of long-term success.
Employers Help Shape the Program
Through our First Look Employer Partnership Program, businesses become active partners in workforce development. Employers provide feedback on workforce needs, participate in networking and hiring events, and help ensure participants graduate with skills that match current labor market demand.
A Community Investment Model
Unlike traditional workforce programs that rely solely on grants, our model creates a sustainable partnership between nonprofits, employers, and the community. Business sponsorships not only fund workforce education but also provide employers with marketing benefits, community recognition, and access to emerging talent.
Measuring Success Differently
Success is measured by more than job placements. We evaluate long-term outcomes such as:
- Career retention
- Wage growth
- Industry advancement
- Housing stability
- Increased self-sufficiency
- Employer satisfaction
- Community economic impact
By integrating education, hands-on experience, employer partnerships, and individualized support into one comprehensive model, Carry Me Productions is developing a workforce ecosystem that benefits participants, businesses, and the broader community alike.

- Vibe.co (now Walmart)
- AdRoll
