Facilitate

For banks and financial institutions

Fund a cohort. Bank a generation.

Your community investment pays for a cohort of people building toward a first job or a first venture. Your team helps teach the money skills they will need. What comes back is a generation ready to bank with you, and a region you can show is growing.

  1. 1You fund a cohortOne commitment covers a cohort for a term: the seats, the studios they work in, and the coaching. You choose the region and the partner school or organization.
  2. 2Money skills, taught togetherYour financial literacy modules are integrated into the platform beside Facilitate's own, and delivered with your team. Each one ends in something the learner makes, not a quiz.
  3. 3A first account, a first dollarPeople open the account, price the product, send the first invoice. It goes on their record as work they did, in their own words.
  4. 4Ready to be bankedA venture with revenue in an account it owns, or a hire with a pay history. People you can lend to, because there is a record to read.
  5. 5A region you can showA cohort report for every term and a regional roll-up across them: who finished, what they built, and how much of that value stayed local.

  6. A bankable generation

What your team would be teaching.

Joint delivery means your people are in the room. Each module ends in something the learner makes, and that thing goes on their record. Pick a module to see who does what.

What you would be able to report.

Community investment is easy to spend and hard to show. This is what lands on your desk at the end of a term, for one cohort or rolled up across a region.

One cohort, one term

  • Members enrolled24
  • Finished the money modules21
  • Opened a first account17
  • Banked a first dollar from a venture9
  • Hired into a first job11

Sample figures, for illustration. Your report carries your cohort’s real numbers, and every one of them traces back to a person’s own record.

What regional economic development looks like, counted.

One question tells you whether it worked: how much of the value these people created stayed in the community that raised them?

A Branch Opens Its Doors

A big-five bank opened a local branch to youth and their educators for a hiring day. Participants prepared on Facilitate — ideation, pitches, submissions, every step reviewed — then met recruiters where hiring actually happens. Momentum, meeting opportunity.

Too many young people finish school able and unseen, while the institutions that want to back them cannot find each other. We are here to end youth unemployment, one connected region at a time.
