MarketReady empowers Opportunity Youth to forge sustainable careers and thriving businesses. Utilizing local farmers markets as micro-business labs, participants gain work experience and entrepreneurial insights for their own ventures. Paired with job readiness training, dynamic masterclasses, and personalized coaching, participants transition from unemployment to full-time jobs while launching passion-driven side hustles. Our holistic approach builds economic stability while cultivating a future where every youth can realize their potential.

Kaimore's CAD and Computer Modeling Cohort for Youth is an immersive four-month program that equips participants with the essential skills in computer-aided drafting and design (CAD), solid and surface modeling, design principles, and advanced machine shop operations. Through hands-on projects, industry level software training, and an externship experience, students will develop a strong foundation in digital modeling and fabrication, preparing them for a successful career in the digital age.

The Kaimore Legacy Wealth Initiative (LWI) is a 3-month financial capabilities program for individuals to increase their knowledge of personal finance and build healthy financial habits with a trained expert and within a peer-support cohort. Kaimore will activate trained experts to lead financial coaching trainings; each cohort will be formed based off of their financial goal: starting a business, workforce development, or debt management. Participants will actively shape their personal finances from “I can’t” to “I can.”

We believe access to the workforce should be egalitarian. Sadly, the real world doesn’t always operate on the principle of equal opportunity. Aspiring workers often face social barriers because of their ethnicity or economic circumstances. To tackle this problem, Kaimore has developed a 16-week development experience filled with financial coaching, workforce training, project-based learning, field work and a final philanthropy project for ambitious individuals to help realize their full potential as community leaders.
