Effective collaboration of workforce and economic development shines through the partnership of EDSI and The Foxes Boxes, a counter-service fresh food restaurant in Wilmington, NC. Our NextGen youth program provides work-based learning opportunities at establishments such as Foxes Boxes, who offer on-the-job-training and externships to eligible youth ages 16-24. The program is made possible through WIOA funding and managed by EDSI and the Cape Fear Workforce Development Board, and is hosted in the New Hanover NCWorks Career Center.

The Philadelphia Inquirer recognized EDSI for its innovative programs which are helping to bridge the divide between jobseekers looking for gainful employment and employers needing qualified workers. With over four decades of helping to place disadvantaged and laid-off workers in jobs, assessing company needs and finding qualified hires, EDSI is committed to connecting people to resources that will ultimately help them better their lives.

EDSI is proud to be among 125 companies honored with a 2018 Top Workplaces award in the Delaware Valley and will be recognized at an awards ceremony in March, where each company's ranking will be revealed. Based solely on employee feedback from an anonymous survey, EDSI's workplace culture that supports employee engagement is what earned our company this high achievement. This award reinforces what we already know about EDSI: it's a rewarding and remarkable place to work!

EDSI was one of nine youth service providers awarded a portion of a $6 Million Employment Connections Grant to provide workforce development, training and year-round employment and education services to healthcare graduates of career and technical schools between the ages of 17-21 in the Philadelphia area. This investment in our youth helps provide a critical link to young adults in a city where deep poverty often prevents worthwhile employment opportunities. EDSI is proud to be able to provide these youth with the tools they need to enter a career pathway and eventually reach self-sustainability.

What a year! 2017 was so good to us and there's no doubt that 2018 will be just as great, thanks to all of our wonderful employees. Here's the rundown on the impressive awards EDSI collected this past year.

For the past six years, EDSI has been named to the List of Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation, and we couldn't be prouder. This distinguished award recognizes companies that value their employees as their greatest asset and that strive to create organizational value through their talent. We sincerely thank all those who made this possible, especially our incredible and dedicated team!
