Meta is launching America’s Workforce Academy (AWA), a nationwide program designed to fast-track individuals into long-term careers in skilled trades, backed by an initial $115 million investment in its first year. The cost-free initiative supports all participants during their training and guarantees a job for every graduate.
According to Meta, this initiative marks the largest private-sector commitment to the skilled trades with a “job guarantee in American history”. The academy will debut its pilot locations in Louisiana, Ohio, Indiana, and Texas.
