How do we create a stronger workforce to support a stronger economy? The Investing in America's Workforce conference aims to connect businesses, government agencies, nonprofits, academics, financial institutions, and philanthropic organizations to:
- Reframe workforce development efforts as investments, not just social services
- Attract new resources and leverage existing funding sources
- Improve economic mobility and impact for workers.
The Investing in America’s Workforce capstone conference will take place in Austin, Texas, on October 4–6, 2017. Register now to hear from four Federal Reserve presidents (including the Atlanta Fed’s Raphael Bostic) and leading experts in workforce development.
