The Compass Co.

Helping child support programs move people forward

Child support programs are doing important work — and sometimes moving a participant toward greater stability means addressing more than child support alone.

Employment can be a big part of the picture.

The Compass Co. helps child support programs better support participants who are working toward employment and greater self-sufficiency.

We address a core challenge facing child support programs: helping participants find and keep employment without requiring additional staff capacity.

Our two offerings—Work Forward and 1:1 Virtual Employment Coaching—provide flexible support to help make that possible.

Employment is complicated. Your solution shouldn't be.

When a participant is unemployed or struggling to stay employed, there can be a lot standing in the way.

Skills. Experience. Confidence. Transportation. Workplace expectations. Knowing where to start. Knowing how to keep going.

Your team doesn't need another resource that adds more complexity.

You need something that works.

That's what we're here to provide.

Employment Support That Works

Flexible and comprehensive employment support for child support participants working toward employment.

Work Forward is an online employment-readiness and retention program created specifically for child support participants who are struggling to obtain and maintain employment. 1:1 Virtual Employment Coaching provides personalized support for participants who need additional help moving toward work.

Together, these options help participants build employment skills, move into employment, and develop strategies for success on the job.

Practical support your program can put into action.

Why The Compass Co.?

Because we've been on the other side of this.

We've spent years working directly with people navigating barriers to employment and seeing firsthand what helps — and what doesn't.

That experience shapes everything we create.

We understand the systems.
We understand the people.
And we understand that the best solutions have to work in the real world.

A clearer path forward

Your participants deserve meaningful opportunities to move toward employment and self-sufficiency.

Your team deserves tools that make a real difference without adding to their workload.

We're here to help you do both.
