STRIVE LOCATION
STRIVE excels at galvanizing and equipping participants. While many workforce development organizations struggle to connect with the populations they desire to serve and those who can empower them, STRIVE has mastered the ability to forge fruitful relationships beneficial for all.
One threat I see is the potential for STRIVE to reach roadblocks, like some other agencies in recruiting applicants to sustain the work of the program.
STRIVE should strive (pun intended) to expand the scope of trainings and certifications they offer to expand to other industries key to the Birmingham economy and important to future participants. I'm excited at the growth of STRIVE since its Birmingham impact
The number of graduates and the number of graduates placed in careers is a trackable measure of success. Tracking success of recruiting, participants, placements and advancements, even post- graduation would be a way to capture outcomes of achieved goals.

I feel that STRIVE really excel at helping those people overcome their barriers and help them realize that they can succeed. It makes me proud to see how the people evolve from the time they start until the time they finish. To see their confidence build and to see them accomplish what they felt like was the impossible. Although there are a lot of companies based off of our model, I feel like it's the genuine work that we put in to make sure that the students are successful. I do like that they have a long-term relationship with us.
I'm not sure if I would see it as a threat, but just to see so many companies being developed after our model. Having said that we would need to continue to be consistent and true to the "WHY" we are doing this work.
STRIVE should try to achieve a university. This way it can be on a bigger scale and provide access in a general area to where people can attend without so many transportation barriers. STRIVE purpose to help those with barriers is good enough, not everyone is in a situation to succeed but may want to break the cycle of not succeeding.
Graduation rate and long-term employment, with the knowledge if they have advanced in a supervisory role. We will know that we have achieved our goals by growth and more partnership. When you do well everyone always want to be a part of that success.
