Coming Soon
On April 24th, 2025, Opportunity@Work will unveil a new body of work to measure our collective progress in tearing the paper ceiling for STARs. Landmark research quantifies the movement of STARs through the labor market over time, allowing us to chart past progress and the road ahead. Register now to attend our virtual event.
State of Paper Ceiling Dashboard
This skills-first progress tracker measures collective progress -- from us and our network of partners, and at a macro level through the broader U.S. labor market -- to demonstrate our contribution to the skills-first movement along the dimensions of our "ABC" theory of change.
Awareness
Opportunity@Work raises awareness of STARs, the systemic barriers they face, and the value of their skills -- shifting perceptions to drive action.
Behavior Change
Opportunity@Work shifts behavior by equipping employers with strategies to adopt skills-first hiring practices -- improving hiring outcomes for STARs.
Changed Outcomes
Opportunity@Work embeds lasting systems change, ensuring sustained STARs mobility and a strengthened labor market.
Ready to join the movement?
Opportunity@Work engages with corporate, public sector, and philanthropic partners to address the barriers that STARs and employers face, and to make hiring STARs for higher-wage roles the norm.
