SynED.org is a small nonprofit operating in the higher education space, headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California. The organization treats workforce development as part of a broader economic and community-building effort rather than a standalone issue. It emphasizes direct outreach, including personal calls, one-on-one meetings, and community gatherings, to connect resources that communities often keep disconnected. SynED seeks to foster collaboration among education providers, industry, and government to develop skills-based frameworks that align training with real job opportunities. Its programs aim to move beyond traditional recruitment models by coordinating efforts across classroom and boardroom to create pathways to sustainable employment and regional economic vitality. In 2023, the organization published Agents of Change Volume 5, which discusses how community resiliency can reshape local economies.
