Description
About the job
Housed within the University City District's West Philadelphia Skills Initiative, the Keystone LifeSci Collaborative is supported by new funding from the American Rescue Plan's Good Jobs Challenge (GJC) and aims to address ongoing shared business priorities and enhance regional competitiveness in the life science industry. The Keystone LifeSci Collaborative brings together key regional stakeholders, including industry leaders, research institutions, and community organizations to foster collaboration, innovation, and growth in the life science sector across six Southeastern Pennsylvania counties: Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware, Chester, and Berks.
The Collaborative is based on the nationally recognized "Next Gen Sector Partnership" model, active in over 100 regions and more than 20 states. The Next Gen model departs from the traditional government-driven approach to workforce development where the public sector takes the lead and industry plays a reactive role. In the Next Gen approach, business leaders are proactive, stepping up to champion shared solutions together. Industry leaders draw on expertise and support from government and nonprofit partners to design solutions that strengthen the industry, grow good jobs, and expand equitable access to those good jobs.

About the West Philadelphia Skills Initiative
The West Philadelphia Skills Initiative (Skills Initiative) is the bold solution necessary to close the opportunity gap in Philadelphia. For over a decade, the Skills Initiative has solidified its role as one of the highest performing workforce intermediaries in the country by bridging the divide between unemployed Philadelphians seeking opportunity and employers seeking talent. The Skills Initiative is a year-round, cohort-based, employer-driven training model that harnesses the hiring power of our area's anchor institutions, including universities, health systems, and other major employers, while cultivating the innate drive and potential of job seekers. Our approach specifically and effectively responds to long-term unemployment and the complex challenges that emerge from living in intergenerational poverty. The Skills Initiative is a signature University City District initiative. For more information, visit .
About University City District
University City District (UCD) was founded in 1997 by a partnership of world-renowned anchor institutions, small businesses, and residents to improve economic vitality and quality of life in Philadelphia's University City.

The organization works within a place-based, data-driven framework to invest in world-class public spaces, address crime and public safety, support small businesses along our commercial corridors, connect low-income Philadelphians to careers with employer partners, and promote job growth and innovation.
