ReadyCT awarded a two-year $530,000 Hartford Foundation grant to support its work to prepare primarily Black and Latine high school students to enter high-growth and high-demand career sectors in Connecticut. The organization has established business partnerships in Greater Hartford within the sectors that are integral to its program structure. These partnerships are critical to better aligning K-12 education and workforce systems. By connecting with high-demand fields like healthcare, manufacturing, and information technology, ReadyCT helps students build essential skills and earn industry-recognized credentials, promoting economic mobility and meeting local workforce needs. To support this work, ReadyCT has received a $530,000 two-year grant from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, including $30,000 in contributions from donor-advised funds at the Foundation. ReadyCT's programming aligns with the Foundation’s priorities to address gaps in college and career programming in the region’s Alliance Districts which serve significant numbers of Black and Latine students.
