洛克菲勒基金会等20多家基金会发起「All In For Jobs」:已承诺逾8亿美元,五年覆盖250个社区助居民连接好工作

纽约:洛克菲勒基金会(The Rockefeller Foundation)10月26日宣布,20多家基金会与慈善机构联合发起全国性倡议「All In For Jobs」,拟动员10亿美元,帮助美国人连接好工作、在人工智能与自动化重塑就业之际保住工作。发起伙伴迄今已承诺逾8亿美元。
倡议在未来五年内,将在全美选定250个受经济转型冲击的社区,与当地领导者合作,帮助居民找到并保住好工作。这些社区的居民在过去几十年间失去过工作,或正面临人工智能与自动化带来的新一轮岗位流失;具体社区名单将在未来几个月内确定。2027年1月起,伙伴机构将定期会商,识别、测试并推广有效的做法。
基金会负责美国项目与政策的高级副总裁 Derek Kilmer 说:「全国各地的社区里,一边是太多人需要工作,另一边是太多工作需要人。慈善界可以发挥独特作用:帮助人们连接上眼下已经空缺的岗位,帮助创造新岗位,并帮助劳动者适应不断变化的工作、在其中成长。」他同时表示:「我们还没有全部答案,但我们邀请各方坐到桌前共同寻找。」
与从零创造新岗位的思路不同,这项倡议聚焦于挡在人与现有空缺岗位之间的「缺失环节」:劳动者负担不起、本地企业也提供不了的托育;到不了工作地点的交通;以及与雇主实际招聘岗位脱节的培训。逐个社区找出并补上这些障碍,是倡议的核心工作。McKnight Foundation 主席 Tonya Allen 说,人工智能与自动化正在改变工作,但不应由技术本身决定谁受益、谁被甩下、社区的命运如何,最接近这场转型的人必须拥有话语权、资源与席位。AARP Foundation 主席 Claire Casey 说,经济转型期的岗位流失对低收入与年长劳动者的伤害尤为持久,这一次转型可以不同:让各年龄段劳动者都具备适应变化、分享转型繁荣的技能与机会。
支持这项倡议的机构包括 AARP Foundation、Community Foundation of Greater Flint、Google.org、James S. McDonnell Foundation、Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation、McKnight Foundation、NextLadder Ventures、洛克菲勒基金会、Stand Together、Strada Education Foundation、StriveTogether 以及另外14家机构,联盟仍在扩充。洛克菲勒基金会1913年创立、总部位于纽约,113年来累计投入约300亿美元促进人类福祉。
Rockefeller Foundation and 20-Plus Foundations Launch 'All In For Jobs': Over $800 Million Committed, 250 Communities Over Five Years
New York — The Rockefeller Foundation on October 26 announced that more than 20 foundations and philanthropies have launched All In For Jobs, a $1 billion initiative to connect Americans to good jobs and keep people working in the face of AI and automation. Launch partners have committed over $800 million to date.
Over the next five years, All In For Jobs will identify 250 communities across the country that have been hard-hit by economic change — whose residents have lost jobs over recent decades or face new job losses to AI and automation — and work with local leaders to help people connect to good jobs and keep them. The specific communities will be decided in the months ahead. Beginning in January 2027, partners will convene regularly to identify, test, and scale solutions.
"In communities across the nation, there are too many people who need jobs, and too many jobs that need people," said Derek Kilmer, Senior Vice President for U.S. Program and Policy at The Rockefeller Foundation. "Philanthropy has a unique role to play in helping people connect to jobs that are open right now, helping create new ones, and helping workers adapt and thrive as work evolves." He added: "We don't have all the answers yet, but we're inviting people to the table to help find them."
Rather than only creating new jobs from scratch, the initiative focuses on the missing links that keep people from jobs that are already open: childcare a worker cannot afford and local businesses cannot provide, transportation that does not reach the job, or training that never connects to the roles employers are trying to fill. Finding and fixing those barriers, community by community, is the work All In For Jobs will focus on. "AI and automation may be transforming work, but technology alone should not decide who benefits, who is left behind, or what happens to a community," said Tonya Allen, President of the McKnight Foundation. Claire Casey, president of AARP Foundation, said job displacement during economic transitions has caused lasting harm, particularly for low-income and older workers, and that this transition can be made different — building a more inclusive future where workers of all ages have the skills and opportunities to adapt and share in the prosperity the transformation can create.
Supporters include the AARP Foundation, the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, Google.org, the James S. McDonnell Foundation, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the McKnight Foundation, NextLadder Ventures, The Rockefeller Foundation, Stand Together, the Strada Education Foundation, StriveTogether, and 14 other organizations; the coalition is actively growing. Founded in 1913 and headquartered in New York, The Rockefeller Foundation has invested about $30 billion over 113 years to promote the well-being of humanity.
