A neighborhood that works is a neighborhood that works. Phillips Partnership members Wells Fargo and Abbott Northwestern Hospital have reinvested in the neighborhood with a $400 million combination of the largest private developments in Minnesota history.

Likewise the Phillips Partnership has organized two of the nation’s largest hospital-based jobs programs, one for entry-level work and the other for laddering up to career tracks. Soon to be merged, the programs will offer local Empowerment Zone residents the opportunity to advance continuously from unskilled work to professional positions as highly qualified as registered nurses at local hospitals.

Nearly 650 graduates have had four weeks of paid, full-time work readiness training followed by 18 months of continued mentoring and support after placement in entry-level healthcare jobs.
