We don't work alone.
We work with the best.

Building the future workforce requires collaboration across education, industry, government, and community. These are the organizations helping us do it.

Our Approach

Partnerships built on alignment, not convenience.

The Eden8 Foundation selects partners based on shared mission – organizations that understand the stakes of the workforce gap and are committed to building real pathways for underserved communities.

We partner with universities and research institutions, federal agencies, workforce development boards, aviation and aerospace organizations, local school districts, and community nonprofits. Each partnership is designed to amplify what our programs can do, not just add a logo to a list.

If your organization is aligned with our mission and interested in exploring a partnership, we want to hear from you.
