For 25 years Vermont Healthcare and Information Technology Education Center (Vermont HITEC) and the Institute for American Apprenticeships (IAA), have provided workforce and apprenticeship services to job seekers, employers, professional associations, and government agencies. As of January 1, 2025, Vermont HITEC joined forces with TFP Group, Inc. dba Training Funding Partners (TFP), a workforce funding and consulting firm located in Huntington Beach, California. The new corporate name, JobForward, represents the combination of the strengths of the two organizations.
“The joining of the two organizations will enable us to expand the services we offer to new and existing clients and tap into the knowledge and expertise of our combined staff. The new name, JobForward, is representative of this expansion of services and abilities. In the coming months you’ll begin to see the inspiration behind our new brand and how it will reflect the impact that the new organization will have in apprenticeship, talent pipeline, and workforce funding,” states Matthew McKenney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vermont HITEC.
“We’re thrilled to be joining with Vermont HITEC under the JobForward brand. Both organizations are committed to continue providing the highest level of service to our current clients and joint clients as we make the transition and offer an expanded array of offerings to both new and existing clients,” stated Julianna Kirby, President and Chief Executive Officer at Training Funding Partners.
