What We Do

Strategic Reshoring. Not Just a Slogan.

We work as an extension of your leadership team to plan, fund, and execute the return of critical work to the United States.

Grant and Incentive Advisory

We identify and help you pursue federal, state, and local funding programs designed for companies bringing work back. From CHIPS Act allocations to state workforce development grants, we map the money to your reshoring plan.

Talent Pipeline Development

Reshoring fails without workers. We build domestic talent pipelines through partnerships with community colleges, trade programs, and workforce development organizations, so the people are ready when the jobs arrive.

Workforce Strategy Consulting

We audit your current workforce composition, model the cost impact of policy changes like the $100K H-1B fee, and build a phased strategy to transition from offshore dependency to domestic talent infrastructure.

ReshoreReady Certification

A workforce readiness certification framework that evaluates your organization across strategic planning, domestic talent investment, education partnerships, and compliance infrastructure. Demonstrates measurable commitment to reshoring.

Policy and Economic Intelligence

Our ongoing Industry Brief series tracks the policies, tariffs, visa economics, and workforce dynamics that shape reshoring decisions. We translate policy into action so you stay ahead of structural shifts.

Ecosystem Access

Through the Reshoring Workforce Council, gain access to a curated network of employers, education partners, policymakers, and workforce providers who are actively building the domestic talent infrastructure.

The Economic Case

The Numbers Behind the Shift

The $100,000 H-1B fee effective for FY2027, combined with rising prevailing wage requirements and tariff policy, is fundamentally altering the economics of offshored and imported knowledge work. This is not a temporary blip. It is a structural change that will reshape workforce strategy for the next decade.

Reshoring is no longer just about manufacturing. 88-90% of reshored jobs in 2024-2025 were in high or medium-high tech sectors. Software development, IT services, financial analysis, and business process operations are all facing a new cost reality.

The top 10 H-1B occupations are not manufacturing roles. They are knowledge work. When you add a $100,000 per-visa fee, the cost calculus shifts decisively toward domestic talent investment.

How We Work

A Partnership, Not a Pitch

We embed with your team to build a reshoring strategy that is grounded in data, funded by available incentives, and supported by a talent pipeline.

Economic Modeling

We model the cost impact of policy changes, quantify reshoring economics, and identify the grants and incentives available to offset transition costs.

Talent Pipeline

We build partnerships with community colleges, trade schools, and workforce organizations to develop the domestic talent your reshored operations require.

4

Execution Support

We stay engaged through implementation, helping navigate grant applications, certification milestones, and the operational details that determine success.
