Mission: Mdc (formerly manpower development corp. ) was founded in 1967 to help north carolina make the transition from an agricultural to an industrial economy and from a segregated to an integrated workforce. It has evolved into a research and hands-on partner that helps organizations and communities close the gaps that separate people from opportunity. For nearly 50 years, mdc has been clearing the pathways that lead to opportunity by working with foundations, nonprofits, and community and business leaders, primarily in the south, to connect disadvantaged people with education, employment and economic security. We center our work on building and strengthening the "infrastructure of opportunity"-the set of systems and supports often present in many communities that, once aligned, can boost young people to higher rungs on the economic ladder. By linking community engagement and systems change, mdc aspires to change the underlying conditions that create inter-generational poverty.
