Joining the 75 Million Network

Join leaders across the country taking meaningful action to achieve a society where millions more people work in quality jobs.  

Jobs for the Future (JFF) has set an ambitious North Star goal: By 2033, 75 million people facing systemic barriers to advancement will work in quality jobs. The only way we’ll get there is if the entire learn-to-work ecosystem partners together.  

When you join the 75 Million Network, you become one of the stakeholders who will endorse, advance, track, and champion this important goal. Together, we will: 

  • Amplify a shared vision of a workforce that provides advancement opportunity to all

  • Mobilize the nation to that vision including by advancing relevant policy

  • Serve populations who face systemic barriers to advancement in the workforce

  • Measure and generate impact

JFF announced the 75 Million Network at Horizons in 2024, and we are thrilled to now officially invite organizations and teams to join us! We look forward to learning and growing with the network to provide the best value to our partners and to achieve this ambitious goal of 75 million people in quality jobs.

Quality Jobs Commitment

By joining the 75 Million Network, organizations and teams commit to advancing quality jobs by incorporating them as a focus of their work. JFF’s Quality Jobs Framework provides a clear perspective on what constitutes a quality job while recognizing that organizations approach this work from diverse starting points, with unique opportunities, priorities, and challenges. We invite members of the 75 Million Network to advance job quality in ways that align with their specific contexts and to share what that commitment looks like in practice.

What is a Quality Job?


W
e believe that quality jobs should, at a minimum:
 

  • Pay a living wage that is enough to meet basic needs 

  • Provide physical safety 

  • Help workers gain the skills and experience they need to advance in their careers 

JFF’s Quality Jobs Framework outlines how we think about a quality job and serves as a starting place for stakeholders to shape their own definitions and agendas.  

The Framework includes elements of a quality job under four categories:  

QJF

How do we advance quality jobs?

 
For example:
  • If you are a community college, how does job quality affect which training programs you run?

  • If you are an employer, how do you define job quality for your early career talent, and what populations are you recruiting into that pipeline?

  • If you are a community-based organization, how are you choosing which employers to engage with?

  • If you are an intermediary or local/state government agency, how are you catalyzing conversations at a regional level about what job quality means?

  • If you are a philanthropic foundation, do you include considerations of job quality as you make investments?
