Kate and Stephen | 50% Of Americans Don’t Believe A Good Job Is Within Reach

GUESTS | Kate Markin Coleman, former EVP, Chief Strategy and Advancement Officer of YMCA, and Stephen Goldsmith, Professor of the Practice of Urban Affairs at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
DETAILS | Kate and Stephen join TDW to discuss their eye-opening new book Growing Fairly: How to Build Opportunity and Equity in Workforce Development. They share hard truths, such as there is no integrated workforce development program in the US, and the number of Americans who are pessimistic about what additional education can do for them has tripled from 12 to 35%. This is why they are taking a system approach and boldly calling for immediate cross-sector collaboration, a regional and bipartisan effort toward workforce development reform. In this robust conversation, we examine macro disruptive trends through the lens of their workforce design principles model and why this must be built for the unique needs of workers, employers, and cities.
