What You Need To Know about Workforce Training Episode 112

How do we help students earn more money and raise their quality of life? To start, it's about teaching them the skills they need to increase their wages and create generational wealth for them and their families. The key is workforce training. Host Salvatrice Cummo, Vice President of Economic & Workforce Development at Pasadena City College and Leslie Thompson, the Director of Operations come together to share their views on the future of workforce training, and how we can leverage existing programs to improve the training outcomes. They'll define what workforce training really is, how to customize it, and what it takes to fund and develop these programs. It's time to learn about all the different types of training, what they entail, and which ones are best for specific kinds of students.

About the Podcast

The Future Of Work
Pasadena City College presents The Future Of Work.

We are leading the conversation of how to begin closing the gap between what our students are learning and what the demands of the workforce will be once they enter.

We'll be talking to policy makers, business owners, educators and the students we are advocating for. We'll explore topics like how education can partner with industry, how to be more equitable and how to attain one of our highest goals, more internships.

This conversation impacts the future of all of us.
