Path Forward is a nonprofit organization based in New York City, New York, that helps people return to paid work after taking time off to care for a child, parent, or spouse by creating midcareer internship opportunities that serve as on-ramps to employment. The approach seeks to unlock an often overlooked talent pool and reduce bias faced by caregivers re-entering the workforce, with a focus on increasing women's participation in the workforce. The nonprofit was launched in 2016 and operates with a relatively small staff. It collaborates with employers to design and run return-to-work programs that provide a structured path back to full-time employment for midcareer caregivers. Notable collaborations include Walmart and Harman Automotive, demonstrating partnerships with large employers to host returnships. In 2023 Path Forward announced a scholarship program to provide technical skills certification to caregivers from underrepresented communities.
