Why Craft

Move Systems In Sync, Not in Circles

Too often, learning and labor systems are structured to operate in parallel—not in coordination. Craft helps state and regional leaders create the infrastructure to see across silos, align initiatives, and make smarter decisions faster.

The Status Quo

  • Siloed data makes it hard to match training supply with labor demand.
  • Legacy systems can’t track cross-agency progress or shared outcomes.
  • Policy shifts and funding cycles move faster than your systems can.

Our Vision

  • A unified system to see learner and worker progress statewide.
  • Integrated data to align programs with labor demand.
  • Real-time insights to support cross-agency planning, funding, and accountability.

Our platform is just the beginning. Craft Consulting brings strategy, system design, and hands-on help, enabling state agencies to unlock pathways into high-reward careers.

Why It Matters

When Systems Work Together,  Learners Go Farther

Departments of labor, educators, and employers have interdependent goals—but independent ways of working.

The Shortage Ends When the Silos Do

The talent exists. An infrastructure for alignment between training providers, employers, and regulatory agencies is key to closing the gap.

Until the workforce education system of 40k training providers, 6.1M employers, and 1,000+ regulatory agencies have a sustainable way to work together, millions of jobs will go unfulfilled.

The Cost of Alignment

Talent Together’s registered apprenticeship program in Michigan makes expansive pathways to careers possible. But cross-system documentation takes time away from actual execution.

“Craft is the only place we document standards progress. Their platform gives us the credibility we need with the DOL and the districts. A spreadsheet can’t do that.”

Gina Zuberbier
Program Manager, MI Talent Together

"Reflecting on year one outcomes from Talent Together, I see that so much of it would not have been possible without Craft. The pipeline for apprentices is REAL here in Michigan. Between Cohorts 1 and 2, we are adding over 1,350 teachers to the educator workforce pipeline."
