UpSmith, a Dallas Startup Led by Former Elevate Leader, Raises $3.3M to ‘Combat the Skilled Worker Shortage’
by Kevin Cummings | Oct 27, 2022
As founder and CEO of Upsmith, Wyatt Smith is on a mission to combat America's skilled worker shortage while bringing career opportunities to veterans, immigrants, recent high school graduates, and “stuck workers." UpSmith's platform helps employers find, train, and retain skilled workers with the help of paid, eight-week "training accelerators."
Its two pilot programs include one in Dallas working with American Residential Services to train HVAC technicians for jobs in Dallas and Houston.
