Mission Statement
To support a better world with better citizens by fostering learning competence, emotional intelligence, and networked intelligence. KeelWorks especially wishes to bring greater participation to the economically disadvantaged across the globe. We are building a system to support upward mobility.
Description
KeelWorks is a 501c3 foundation. Since 2008 hundreds of graduate students and unemployed workers, reached gainful employment while helping KeelWorks build structure for change. We want to end poverty across the world, changing one life at a time. The KeelWings program for recent students and the KeelMate program for transitioning workers apply their learning while gaining experience supporting the KeelMaster program development. This experience reflected in a competent resume - with our guidance - qualifies them as a credible job applicant. The KeelMaster program is designed to support employment for the more challenged unemployed. This program begins with barrier identification and mitigation, assigns participants facilitated teams where they learn core competencies, ending with goal determination. They access training, and while doing so, join paid internships. Mutual support, core competencies, application, and clear and objective progress metrics support measured results. This structure for change will be replicated over and over across the globe. While other programs give the needy fish, we teach teach them to fish.
