SaverLife and The BlackRock Foundation Bring Award-Winning Financial Wellness Platform to Skilled Trades Workers Nationwide

Leigh Phillips, President and CEO of SaverLife

“As technology reshapes our economy, we have an opportunity to rethink not only how we prepare people for the jobs of the future, but how we help them build lasting financial security through those careers”

Leigh Phillips, President and CEO of SaverLife

“We’re proud to partner with BlackRock Future Builders to bring personalized, technology-enabled financial guidance into the workforce development experience, supporting IBEW-NECA apprentices with timely guidance, motivation and practical tools to build savings and financial confidence from the start.”

John Kelly, Global Head of Corporate Affairs at BlackRock

“The skilled trades are opening doors to family-supporting careers and greater economic opportunity for millions of Americans”

John Kelly, Global Head of Corporate Affairs at BlackRock

“At BlackRock, we believe that opportunity should translate into long-term financial security. By bringing innovative financial tools directly into the apprenticeship experience, we can help workers build toward financial success from their first paycheck and throughout their careers.”

Kenneth W. Cooper, International President of the IBEW

“An IBEW apprenticeship has always been about more than a job. It’s a path to a career with good wages, real benefits, and a secure retirement.”

Kenneth W. Cooper, International President of the IBEW

“But earning a good living and building wealth are two different skills. Putting these tools in our apprentices’ hands means the paychecks they work hard for go further, for them and for their families.”

David Long, CEO of NECA

“NECA and the IBEW have spent generations building the best-trained electrical workforce in America, and a workforce is only as strong as the people in it. A strong industry depends not only on technical excellence, but also on the financial strength and stability of the men and women who power it”

David Long, CEO of NECA

“When apprentices have a handle on their finances, they show up focused, stay in their programs, and become the leaders our contractors will count on for decades. SaverLife and The BlackRock Foundation are helping make that possible, and NECA is grateful for their investment in our workforce and the long-term strength of our industry.”

Todd Stafford, Executive Director of the electrical training ALLIANCE

“Preparing the next generation of electricians requires more than technical training”

“Apprentices also need support and resources to help them stay on track and fully realize the opportunities these careers can provide. By integrating personalized financial guidance and savings tools into the apprenticeship experience, The BlackRock Foundation and SaverLife are helping workers build both skills and financial resilience from day one.”
