Workforce 360
Workforce 360 is a recurring meeting featuring topics from the the intersection of direct service and policy work. The meetings are an opportunity for diverse participation and networking with workforce development practitioners, policy advocates, and more.
Each Workforce 360 meeting will be structured around a specific challenge relevant to workforce development and examine solutions from both a policy and on-the-ground practitioner perspective. We hope to see you there for engaging speakers, opportunities to participate in advocacy, peer discussion, and new opportunities and announcements from the field!
