A Grassroots Look at Workforce Development

Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Workforce development is in a state of transition: Federal funding is declining, and questions have been raised about the effectiveness of existing programs. Representatives from three nonprofits in New Jersey, and a fourth in Philadelphia, share their workforce development experience and challenges. Topics include creating workforce opportunities for young people, engaging employers, and encouraging financial self-reliance.
