About STRATEGIC WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS

Strategic Workforce Solutions is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization based in Grand Rapids, Michigan (established 2021) that focuses on workforce innovation, job training, and skills-based hiring. Its signature program, HireReach Academy, provides a structured, evidence-based selection (EBS) framework and training to help employers adopt skills-based hiring and improve recruitment outcomes. Over the last 2–3 years the organization has operated employer-facing academies and trainings, maintained regular Form 990 filings, and worked in partnership with regional workforce partners to expand skills-based hiring practices across the region. Strategic Workforce Solutions positions itself as a capacity-builder for employers and workforce systems rather than a direct client-facing employment placement agency.
