Capital IDEA lifts working families out of poverty by sponsoring educational services that lead to life-long financial security. Capital IDEA serves the community by acting as a bridge, connecting committed, yet underemployed people to employers in need of highly skilled workers.
Created through the efforts of Austin Interfaith and the Central Texas business community, Capital IDEA funds qualified participants tuition, books and childcare and works with them to find employment with good salaries, benefits and opportunity for career growth. Capital IDEA works with workforce partners to identify new career-driven curriculum needed to properly educate the next generation of workers.
