YUPRO’s strategy to meet heightened demand includes expanding national partnerships with non-profit training providers, specifically those that offer job readiness programming and certifications, and those that seek job placement solutions for their participants. Employers have access to trained and vetted talent offering a non-traditional solution to high demand, entry-level jobs. As a public benefit corporation, YUPRO’s focus on placement before profit shines through. They offer their entire talent community social services support, access to free IBM SkillsBuild certifications, and free college tuition, all of which improves employee retention and job engagement.

To support scalable growth, YUPRO is investing in technology and infrastructure while also creating internal career paths in the Client Services department. This facilitates new account development, and helps maintain industry recognition through awards such as Best of Staffing Client Satisfaction. Additionally, YUPRO is hiring a team of business development directors, and expanding their recruiting department to support client demand.
