New Voices, New Approaches to Workforce Development, and the Quarterly Meeting of the New York City Workforce Funders

About

We’ve experienced dramatic changes in the workforce sector as a result of advances in technology, population and economic growth, local and federal policy shifts and may other factors. These conditions have created both challenges and opportunities for all key stakeholders in the workforce system. This also creates opportunity for new voices to meet emerging needs for populations who continue to experience barriers to the job market. This session will highlight three organizations (Arbor Brothers, Echoing Green, and Edwin Gould Foundation) that are actively working to incubate new leaders to establish themselves, join the workforce ecosystem, and implement growth plans. In addition, this session will highlight the impact of organizations that have benefited from these incubators.
