Career & Economic Development
iCare Foundation is building a comprehensive career and economic development program area to address one of Greater Tampa Bay's most pressing challenges — the gap between what ALICE families earn and what it costs to survive. We are developing business coaching, workforce readiness, and gender-responsive empowerment programs that will create lasting economic mobility for adults and the families who depend on them.
- Developing business coaching and entrepreneurship programs for Greater Tampa Bay
- Building gender-responsive programs for men and women facing economic barriers
- Workforce readiness and job training programs in development
- Targeting ALICE households — the working adults who earn too much for aid but too little to get ahead
- Grounded in the Two-Generation (2Gen) model — economic mobility for parents and children together
