What is Lorem Ipsum?

What We Do

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why Social Capital Builders?

Social capital is one of the greatest predictors of labor market success. A growing body of research points to the pivotal role social capital plays in helping low-income populations connect to and excel in the world of work. Yet despite the best efforts of workforce development agencies and educational systems, “low-connected” individuals are failing to secure gainful employment equal to their investments in education and job training. Research is questioning the impact of programs focused mainly on increasing skills and credentials without helping them develop the social connections that could help put these achievements to work. Social capital building creates the conditions necessary for an individual’s investment in developing skills and a mature work ethic. It spurs their motivation to invest in education, skills training, and credentialing by showing them that they have direct connections to relevant industry professionals who can assist them in putting their newfound achievements to work. Furthermore, it helps industry stakeholders build the cross-cultural connections that stand in the way of many of their DEI initiatives.

When policies fail to address bias, discrimination, and racism, individuals need opportunities to be represented beyond news reports. Without such opportunities, many individuals face extreme hardship in overcoming the systemic barriers that impede their economic life chances. Absent structured social capital-building efforts between individuals and potential employers, negative stereotypes of both are validated, creating a negative feedback loop: the employer disregards minority and low-income populations as unfit for work, and mistrust of the employer prevents many capable individuals from applying.
