Founding Partner Initiative

A select group of organizations will help shape the Florida pilot.

ResiliFuture™ is currently inviting organizations to join the Founding Partner Initiative. Nothing here is finished, and that is the point: founding partners help decide what gets built, where it launches and who it reaches.

Become a Founding PartnerExplore Collaboration
Expertise
People who teach what a project actually demands, not what a textbook assumes.
Facilities
Plants, labs, job sites and trailers opened for guided educational experiences.
Technology
Tools, platforms and demonstrations that show students where the work is heading.
Direction
A seat at the table where the programs, pilots and priorities are decided.

Current initiative

Launching in Florida.

We are starting with pilot collaborations across Florida. What we learn there about what works, what does not and what people actually need will guide where we go next.

Request a Conversation

  1. Phase One — Florida

    Pilot collaborations across Florida with contractors, manufacturers, universities, technical schools, professional associations and community partners.

  2. Phase Two — Proof

    Workshops, facility experiences, masterclasses and Industry Fellows™ sessions run in real classrooms and on real job sites, then improved with the people who ran them.

  3. Phase Three — National

    Lessons learned during the pilot shape how ResiliFuture™ expands into additional regions, carried by the partners who helped build it.
