History
The Jobs Committee of the Coalition for a South Works CBA created a vision of the pipeline in December 2016. We met with employers, trainers, service providers, Bowen High School, and Calumet Area Industrial Commission and formed the SE Jobs Pipeline Committee.  In December 2017, the Pipeline Committee joined with the Southeast Jobs Collaborative.

In May 2017, ASE and partners held a Career Readiness Fair with approx. 100 attendees, 11 co-sponsors, and 9 employers/trainers.
