Persistence & Retention Program Activations

Persistence programs aid in recruitment and retention of employees. Customized Tuition Assistance Scholarships lower employee turnover, aid in talent recruitment, and improve Employee Loyalty program outcomes.

Employer Solutions Community Activations Network (CAN) works directly with employers to build, manage and report custom scholarships, trainings, and persistence solutions that go beyond what traditional benefit platforms offer.

Our Employer Solutions include:

  • Custom scholarship and grant programs

  • Workforce persistence programming that keeps your workforce at work. These may address barriers like childcare, transportation, legal issues, or housing

  • Strategic alignment with your talent needs, including “train-to-order” solutions to reduce onboarding time

  • Annual budget planning and ROI-focused talent development partnerships

  • Inclusive eligibility — not limited to public university systems in the region

These programs are designed to retain your workforce, upskill with purpose, and increase employee loyalty by making training accessible, flexible, and supported.

Custom Tuition Scholarships & Grant Activations

Employers who invest in employee education benefits retain and attract talent, which saves the company time and money.

Employers invest in educating people through communities, organizations, faith-based organizations, and industries. Employer Education Investments make BIG IMPACTS in communities.

Customizing scholarships and grants act as grassroots investments into the community.

We CAN develop and manage Employer Named programs for you.

  • Trades & Skilled Labor

  • Healthcare & Medical Fields

  • Commercial and Residential Developers, Construction & Infrastructure

  • Manufacturing & Emerging Technologies

Inventors and innovators launching a new industry may need a partner to formalize a training program, support recruitment or develop onboarding programs for their workforce.

CAN works with your business, subject matter experts, colleges, trade school, apprenticeships and community-based training providers to co-design and deliver curriculum solutions that meet emerging sector needs. Whether it’s clean energy, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, trades, or a new technology without an established workforce sector —we connect the dots between employer demand and educational access.

We connect:

  • Employers seeking skilled labor

  • Communities preparing for growth

  • Training institutions building new pipelines

  • Funders looking to make a measurable impact

By facilitating high-value partnerships, CAN supports business growth and community empowerment at the same time.
