Connecting to Opportunity During Economic Transitions | WorkingNation Overheard | JFF Horizons

Описание: Economic transitions can be met with fear, but that’s normal, says Rachel Korberg, executive director and co-founder of The Families and Workers Fund – a coalition of philanthropic groups that collaborates to enable upward mobility in the workforce.

WorkingNation sat down with Korberg at JFF Horizons 2024 in Washington, D.C.

She says transitions are exciting for the country – and references clean energy. “We can allocate the money, we can move forward the tax credits, we can do trillions of dollars in private investment. But ultimately this all comes down to people – people who are actually doing things on the ground. So, I am excited that a lot of our big, most ambitious goals as a country now require us to provide good quality training to ensure that a more diverse group of workers has access to these jobs than ever have before.”
