Mayor Walsh’s administration is committed to helping Boston’s children achieve their dreams beyond high school. Specifically, the City of Boston is working to increase access to postsecondary education as a pathway to financial empowerment. The City’s Office of Workforce Development (OWD) will launch a Children’s Savings Account for College (CSA) program that will ultimately open a college savings account for every Kindergarten (K2) student. We’re starting with a three-year pilot program (to be launched in Fall 2016) and are looking for a technology solution to support our work.
OWD seeks engaged and flexible technology partner(s) who can help build a delivery platform for the Boston CSA Pilot Program that: 1) enables OWD to sustainably provide excellent customer service for Boston families, and 2) leverages technology as a tool to help drive account usage. This partner would sign a 3-year contract to collaborate with OWD for the duration of the Boston CSA Pilot Program.
