Opportunity BasketEmployer-Sponsored Training Financing with Income-Share Agreements (ISA)
A financing service that allows low-income workers to access vocational training immediately by signing an income-share agreement: they pay 0% upfront, attend training (partnered with existing vocational schools), and repay 4-8% of gross income for 24-36 months once employed in a qualifying role. The service handles all ISA origination, income verification, and collections—employers (or their HR systems) report wages directly.

Value Proposition
Workers get training NOW with zero debt risk (repayment only if employed in target role); vocational schools fill seats and reduce bad debt from unpaid tuition; employers get pre-trained workers they can hire at placement; ISA provider captures upside from wage growth without predatory terms. Beats grants (limited, slow) and loans (debt burden deters low-income applicants).
Target Audience

Low-income workers lack access to affordable vocational training to escape poverty and secure stable employmentUnemployed and underemployed individuals, particularly those from low-income backgrounds, cannot afford vocational training programs needed to qualify for better-paying jobs. Current solutions rely on limited grant funding and government programs that don't reach everyone who needs them. Workers remain trapped in low-wage positions because training costs are prohibitive and financial aid is scarce.
