Episode description

How do we start changing the conversation around the future of work so more students can get jobs? To best adjust the current landscape, we need to create more safe spaces that open up the dialogue around what organizations and students need in order to reach their goals. Host Salvatrice Cummo, Vice President of Economic & Workforce Development at Pasadena City College and Leslie Thompson, the Director of Operations come together to prepare and set the tone for the year ahead by recapping themes from the past year, and reflecting on what they want to shift moving forward. Diving deep into the evolving needs of both the existing and incoming workforce, they’ll share which areas need the most development and what opportunities will best address those gaps or barriers to students. Discover how to set the stage for the engaging conversations you’ll need in order to resonate with the future of work.
