In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, Sara Vander Zanden, director of Jobs for the Future (JFF), joins me to discuss the Climate-Resilient Employees for a Sustainable Future (CREST), a green jobs creation initiative funded by the Ares Charitable Foundation in partnership with JFF and World Resources Institute (WRI). Earth Day marks the third anniversary of CREST, which aims to train and place 25,000 people in quality green jobs by 2027. The program emphasizes working with community-based organizations to create these jobs, particularly in regions experiencing challenges created by climate change. Key goals include increasing awareness of what constitutes a "quality green job" and leverages regional expertise to match job opportunities to local climate risks and needs. "Essentially, a green job is anything that integrates green skills. You can think of any traditional industry, you can think of construction, you can think of manufacturing, you can think of textiles or energy. There are ways to make all of these industries and all of these jobs green through the integration of green skills," explains Vander Zanden. The jobs are being created through partnerships with six community organizations that were chosen from a pool of 101 applicants through the JFF Quality Green Jobs Regional Challenge. They will include training programs and earn-and-learn opportunities. "They know their communities. They know the climate risks. They know the job opportunities, the industries, the employers, who's looking for workers. They know what workers need in terms of wraparound supports. The regions are telling us here is where we need to lean in," she explains. The focus is on creating high-wage, benefit-rich jobs that provide flexibility and dignity. In the podcast, Vander Zanden describes a quality green job, as defined by JFF' job quality framework. "Some of those main components are high wages where you can sustain a family. We think about benefits, comprehensive benefits that allow you to take care of yourself and your family and your health. We think about growth opportunities within a company or organization. "We think about flexibility to shape your schedule. Knowledge of what your schedule and hours are going to be a couple of weeks in advance, you can plan your life around that. And we also think about dignity. Does this job make you feel more whole as a person? Does it honor who you are and the skills that you bring?" What is at stake for the communities trying to battle the negative impact of climate change by creating quality green jobs? Which communities and regions are in the CREST initiative? What progress have CREST and its job-creation partners made so far? And where do they hope to be in the next few years?

In this episode of Work in Progress, we dive into the significant contribution that immigrants and foreign-born workers already make to our economy and explore ways to create better pathways to economic mobility through education and training. In March, at SXSW EDU in Austin, WorkingNation brought together business, education, and nonprofit leaders for a discussion on the subject. Joining me on stage at the conference were Katie Brown, founder and chief education officer for EnGen; Jina Krause-Vilmar, CEO of Upwardly Global; and Arturo Cázares, CEO of Latino Business Action Network. There are 47.8 million immigrants in our country. That's about 14% of the population. One in five workers in our country is an immigrant. Immigrants and foreign-born workers generate trillions in economic activity and tax revenue. Economists argue that reducing immigration could have a major negative impact on GDP growth. The immigrant workforce is diverse, touching every industry and community. Immigrants have a range of educational and skill levels, from low-wage workers to entrepreneurs to highly-educated professionals. And there are barriers to economic mobility for all levels of the immigrant population. These hurdles include lack of English skills, difficulties getting professional credentials and qualifications earned in other countries recognized in the U.S., lack of access to capital, and lack of access to career navigation and support services. My conversation with Brown, Krause-Vilmar, and Cázares looks at those barriers and what is being done to break them down for the contribution by immigrants to our economic growth can be even greater. The podcast here also includes the lively discussion with the audience members who joined us in the room. My thanks to the panelists and the audience, and to SXSW EDU for giving us the stage for this important conversation. I also want to share my gratitude and thanks to my colleague Laura Aka for bringing this panel together and sharing her insights and knowledge with us on the subject. I encourage everyone to take the time to listen. You can listen to the full podcast here or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also find our podcasts on the Work in Progress YouTube channel.

Political rhetoric around immigration can be polarizing. In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, we take a step back and look at the economic impact of the immigrant workforce and the jobs they fill. Joining me in the discussion is Jane Oates, senior policy advisor for WorkingNation. The U.S. is home to 47.8 million immigrants, about 14.3% of the population. The immigrant population is about 45% Latino from Spanish-speaking countries, 31% Southeast Asian, 12% from Europe and Canada, and the rest from other countries, based on U.S. Census data. One in five U.S. workers is an immigrant. From high-paying jobs in tech to low-wage jobs in agriculture and home health care, they are a vital part of our workforce and consumer shopping, contributing $1.6 trillion to the economy and paying more than $579 billion in local, state, and federal taxes, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. As Jane explains, for example, "the Latino labor market participation rate is 80%. The general average for the whole population is 62.5%. The Latino population in the United States represents a GDP that's greater than the GDP of India or the U.K.," says Jane. "So, losing any of that buying power is going to be really detrimental to the U.S." In the podcast, Jane and I discuss some of the misperceptions around immigrants and other foreign workers, and the work the are doing in the U.S. She explains how employers play a major role in bringing them to the country. "Know that before you can apply for a visa – whether H1B, H2B, H2A, it doesn't matter – an employer has to demonstrate that they have advertised locally for local talent. An employer has to promise you a job before you can get that visa," she says. There are caps on H-1B visas, these are for workers with bachelor's degree and higher. There are also caps on H-2B visas, which are visas for non-agricultural temporary workers. "They're doing construction. They're doing special manufacturing. They may be people doing masonry. "Then finally, the H-2A, which has no caps. That's ag workers. Every employer will tell you that they cannot get people to pick fruit, to pack fruit. They can't get them to mow lawns, pick apples. You can talk to employer after employer and they'll say, 'I tried to get local talent. I'd like to do that,'" she adds. There is a lot more in the podcast on the economic impact of immigrants, including their role in starting new small businesses.

In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, GitLab Foundation president & CEO Ellie Bertani joins me to discuss whether AI will eliminate jobs or will AI unlock economic opportunity for workers and the human potential in all of us? The impact of AI on workers and business was a big part of the conversation at the Human Potential Summit in Denver earlier this fall. GitLab Foundation is on a mission to increase lifetime earnings for people through education, training and access to opportunities, says Bertani. When it comes to AI, the organization is looking at funding projects that can make a positive impact on the workforce and help workers thrive in today's economy. It is committed to unlocking access to new, high-paying roles in underserved communities. From AI-driven job-matching platforms for the Navajo Nation to smarter systems that help nonprofits maximize impact, GitLab's approach aims to make AI work for people, not against them. In the podcast, Bertani discusses common mistakes organizations make with AI, how to avoid them, and why clarity of purpose is essential when deploying AI solutions. You can listen to the entire conversation here, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also find our podcasts on the Work in Progress YouTube channel.

In the final episode of the Work in Progress podcast series The Manufacturing Comeback, we look at how employers are recruiting and training veterans and women to fill jobs in the manufacturing industry. Employers Anticipate a Surge in Hiring in Manufacturing On my recent trip to Minneapolis for The Manufacturing Institute's Workforce Summit 2025, employers told me that there are a lot of new plants being built around the country, bringing jobs back to the states. The work is more high-tech than in decades past, and employers are now competing with other industries that are also demanding skilled talent. By one estimate from MI and Deloitte, manufacturing will need 3.8 million workers over the next eight years. To meet that demand, they are actively recruiting military veterans and women, the latter being an underrepresented group in manufacturing. Heroes MAKE America, Women MAKE America In the podcast, you'll learn about two Manufacturing Institute initiatives – Heroes MAKE America and Women MAKE America. You'll hear how Heroes MAKE America is working with the U.S. Department of Defense to prepare transitioning service members and their spouses for jobs in manufacturing. Once trained, the program is also making connections to employers who are hiring. The Women MAKE America initiative is working to add more women to the industry. Right now, just about 30% of all manufacturing employees are women. You'll hear how they are trying to significantly grow that number. The Manufacturing Comeback The recent uptick in manufacturing construction and hiring is fueled by the infusion of federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act enacted in 2021, the CHIPS and Science Act enacted in 2022, and private funding. To better understand how the manufacturing comeback is reshaping the workforce, I speak with Gardner Carrick, chief program officer for The Manufacturing Institute, which is helping employers figure out how to build a strong talent pipeline. . This three-part podcast series is a robust conversation about an industry that is once again looking for workers. You can listen to the entire conversation here, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also find our podcasts on the Work in Progress YouTube channel. This series is made possible through support from The Manufacturing Institute.

This is Episode Two of The Manufacturing Comeback, a three-part Work in Progress podcast series. The series takes you inside the surge in hiring in the manufacturing industry. In this episode, we look at how small manufacturers are recruiting and training workers. Small Companies are Looking for Talent On my recent trip to Minneapolis for The Manufacturing Institute's Workforce Summit 2025, I sat down with leaders from several small companies, including Ketchie Precision Machining Solutions and Acutec Precision Aerospace, to learn how they are meeting their growing demand for talent. They tell me that they need a highly-skilled workforce with technical, problem-solving, and soft skills to operate advance equipment. They also point out that they are struggling to compete with larger companies to attract that talent. In the podcast, you'll learn about paid internships, apprenticeships, and other recruiting and training initiatives. You'll also hear from local colleges and how they are helping meet the hiring surge. The Manufacturing Comeback The recent uptick in manufacturing construction and hiring is fueled by the infusion of federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act enacted in 2021, the CHIPS and Science Act enacted in 2022, and private funding. To better understand how the manufacturing comeback is reshaping the workforce, I speak with Gardner Carrick, chief program officer for The Manufacturing Institute, which is helping employers figure out how to build a strong talent pipeline. . This three-part podcast series is a robust conversation about an industry that is once again looking for workers. Next week, in Episode Three, we conclude the series with a conversation around how large and small employers are tapping into underrepresented talent to fill jobs.

In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, we begin a three-part series examining the manufacturing comeback in the United States, the resulting surge in job creation, and the types of skills workers need to get those jobs. In the series, we explore how the nation's employers are finding, training, and retraining the talent to fill as many as 3.8 million jobs over the next eight years. Manufacturers say they are already having trouble filling those jobs. Episode One of The Manufacturing Comeback focuses on how large employers are addressing the shortage of skilled talent. Building a Talent Pipeline I recently traveled to Minneapolis to attend The Manufacturing Institute's Workforce Summit 2025. There I spoke with Mark Rayfield, CEO of Saint-Gobain North America and CertainTeed, and with Paul Myles, senior manager of Government Workforce Development and Training Programs at Magna International. In the podcast, Rayfield and Myles discuss how while the demand for manufacturing jobs in America is surging, finding skilled talent to fill these roles is a growing challenge. Unlike manufacturing jobs of the past, these jobs are often tech-focused. That means manufacturing employers are competing with other industries that are also looking for a tech-skilled workforce. We discuss innovative recruitment methods, effective partnerships with educational institutions, and creating career pathways for people from all backgrounds. Behind the Manufacturing Resurgence The recent surge of manufacturing construction and hiring is being fueled by the infusion of federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act enacted in 2021, the CHIPS and Science Act enacted in 2022, and private funding. To better understand how the manufacturing comeback is reshaping the workforce, I speak with Gardner Carrick, chief program officer for The Manufacturing Institute, which is helping employers figure out how to build a strong talent pipeline. Also joining this part of the conversation is Yustina Saleh, managing director of Workforce Innovation for The Burning Glass Institute. Importantly, we look at the ebbs and flows of manufacturing hiring and how jobs have changed over the past several decades. We also examine why it has become more difficult to find workers interested in manufacturing careers, despite the fact that they are often good-paying jobs.

In this episode of Work in Progress, I am joined by Chike Aguh, senior advisor to The Project on Workforce at Harvard University and the former Chief Innovation Officer for the Biden Administration. He's also a member of the WorkingNation Advisory Board. We sat down to discuss the impact of AI and tech innovation on the workforce, particularly midcareer and older workers, at the Equity Summit 2024 in Washington, a collaboration between CWI Labs, Center for Workforce Inclusion, and WorkingNation. Sometimes it feels like technology is moving so fast that many of us are at risk of being left behind. The U.S. economy is in need of workers right now, with 10 job openings for every eight people looking for work. Some employers say they are struggling to find workers with the right tech skills and timeless interpersonal skills. At the Equity Summit, Aguh and I discussed ways to ensure that midcareer and older worker have access to opportunities in today's labor market, in hiring, job retention, and reskilling. Aguh talked about how technology can't replace everyone but tech innovations such as AI could exacerbate existing inequities for marginalized older workers, including older workers of color. He offered up ideas on how employers can utilize the talents of older workers, rather than buying into biases and outdated assumptions about their abilities. Aguh offered specific strategies employers could use to help upskilled and integrate their workers into the workforce to help solve their labor shortage.

Skilled trade workers are in big demand and short supply and it just might be a career pathway you should consider. WorkingNation and Scripps News have partnered on a new series, Fire Up Your Career, to explore the types of jobs available, what employers are doing to attract talent, and how you can get the skills needed for these good-paying jobs popping up all across the country. Read the article and listen to the podcast, then watch the video below of WorkingNation on Scripps News discussing what's driving the demand and creating new job opportunities in the skilled trades. In this episode of Work in Progress, we're talking about the shortage of skilled trade workers and what employers can do about it. I am joined by Brooke Weddle, McKinsey & Company senior partner and co-author of the McKinsey report Tradespeople Wanted: The Need for Critical Trade Skills in the U.S. The country is facing a hiring crunch for skilled workers such as carpenters, electricians, welders, and plumbers. What's behind the critical demand for talent in the trades? Weddle says the shortage is not new, but the demand has skyrocketed over the past few years. "That comes from things like the bipartisan infrastructure law. It comes from the energy transition. It comes from infrastructure investments beyond the Biden bipartisan infrastructure law. We see things like the CHIPS Act," she explains. “Two important supply-side trends are decreasing the number of skilled laborers in the U.S. workforce: the aging U.S. population and too few younger people entering the trades.” according to the report. Weddle adds, "We are not seeing enough new entrants into those skilled trade roles, so thus the gap that we observe. It's troubling because it's getting in the way of productivity and performance of a lot of organizations." The report estimates that cost of the worker shortage to U.S. companies is over $5 billion. "We're not talking about small numbers here. And having worked with many industrial manufacturing companies that are employing these skilled trades, I can tell you that this is not a HR topic. This is a CEO topic," Weddle tells me in the podcast. "If you listen to any earnings call of a large industrial company in the past 12, 24 months, I would be hard-pressed to find one that is not talking about workforce issues, whether it's acquiring that talent or retaining that talent or making that talent more productive," she says. The report finds that the demand for workers in the skilled trades is only going to increase based on McKinsey's analysis on the data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and talking with employers. Weddle and I discuss some ideas of how employers can attract and retain new workers to fill current and future roles, including working locally with a variety of partners. "So involving others in the community, whether those are economic development organizations, workforce councils. There is obviously the big role to play on the educational provider side. As we know, that is certainly not just higher ed, but it is community colleges. It is vocational schools. "One of the things that we've seen is that when you're orchestrating and integrating at this regional level, then you're able to much more quickly match what are the skills and goals we need to how do we build the workforce that is required? "I would say failure is not an option. We must be optimistic, but we must be smart optimists. We need to find new innovative ways to work together," Weddle tells me. We go deeper into specific examples of how this regional partner approach is getting results. We also talk about some of the reasons younger adults might not want to join the skilled trades and how employers can address those issues to attract a new generation of workers.

A panel of distinguished leaders in philanthropy and business join me on the Work in Progress podcast to share their insight into the power of volunteering in your local community through your workplace. Workplace volunteer programs have long been part of companies' brand management and community relations strategies, but what do they offer the workers who actually perform the volunteer work? A lot, as it turns out, from helping refine their skills to bringing a sense of purpose, of satisfaction, and a sense of empowerment as change agents in their communities, according to research from Ares Management. Ares unveiled its key findings last fall in a white paper, Philanthropy, Purpose and Professional Development: Why Workplace Volunteer Programs Matter, and discussed them on a special LinkedIn Live event presented by Ares and WorkingNation, which you can listen to here. Joining me in this conversation are: Michelle Armstrong, head of philanthropy at Ares Management, elaborating on the research's findings about workplace volunteerism and why Ares employees are so passionate about giving back to their communities. Lee Fabiaschi, VP of employee engagement and community impact at Ares who shares insights into the company's own workplace volunteer program, Ares in Motion (AIM) and how the company intends to grow the initiative. Joseph Fuller, co-head of the Project on Managing the Future of Work at Harvard Business School talks about the hidden benefit for employers who sponsor community-based volunteerism for their employees. Asha Varghese, president of Caterpillar Foundation discusses the incredible value these programs have on building skills for employees, particularly Gen Z workers. Angela F. Williams, president and CEO of United Way shares what she's learned about the impact on the community when a company – big or small – invests in their employees who live and work there.

Joan also describes work trends for sectors that face special challenges, including neurodivergent and disabled communities, veterans, and single moms. And she shares insights about which industries are likely to be hiring in 2024.

In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast for WorkingNation, we travel to the largest technology show in the world – CES 2024 in Las Vegas – to talk to Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), about the impact of technology on the way we do our jobs and what job skills we're going to need in the future. CES, produced by the nonprofit CTA, showcases companies from around the world, including manufacturers, developers and suppliers of technology hardware, software, content, technology delivery systems, and more. "AI is the buzzword for CES 2024," Shapiro tells me. From manufacturing to health care to cybersecurity, most of the 4,000 exhibitors on the showroom floor are highlighting how they are changing their industry using advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Here is some of Shapiro's thoughts on the power of AI and the impact on the way we work and live. "AI has been around for a while, but what's changed in the last year or so is that generative AI has come along with ChatGPT, available to anyone who wants to download it, and, now, there's some other competitors out there. It basically can create things and learn from them based on feedback, which I think is a good thing. Certainly, 99.99% of the uses of this learning AI is such that it'll be very positive. "I think the long-term future potential is combining AI and robotics, which is what a self-driving car is. But to take that one step further, there would be all sorts of devices and things which provide service and mobility. "They'll move some of the horrible jobs of society that are perhaps more dangerous. Clearly, it started out years ago with bomb disposal units. Why should a human sacrifice their lives in the hope they're saving others, or their limbs, when a machine could do a lot of that, perhaps, with greater accuracy. "In every area of endeavor where people are getting hurt, or injured, or they're getting sick which is avoidable, I think we have an opportunity there with AI. And then, of course, some of the business processes that we all deal with in our jobs, those can be made more efficient with AI." Shapiro adds that in addition to highlighting the latest tech innovations using AI, CES is examining all tech's potential impact on basic human securities – community security, health security, political security, environmental security. "You combine these technologies in incredible ways and the future for eliminating human suffering, improving the human condition, solving fundamental global problems with technology, is absolutely amazing."

In this final episode of Work in Progress for 2023, I am joined by Art Bilger, founder and CEO of WorkingNation, and Jane Oates, president of WorkingNation, to discuss the challenges and opportunities the workforce face in the year ahead, part of our The Future of Work 2024 series. As you can imagine, artificial intelligence and its implications on the way we do our jobs, and the skills we need to learn to be a part of the change, continue to be top of mind for many as we head into the new year. "The good news is, I think within companies, government, and the not-for-profit world, people are really digging in to gain an understanding of where AI can take them," says Art. He adds that he's beginning to see these organizations "implementing strategies for training and skilling personnel, so that they can participate in this very significantly changing work environment." Jane argues that AI is already having an impact, but doesn't think that society has moved forward quite that quickly. "All jobs are going to change and right now we have no idea how. We're still in the dark ages with this. I am not as optimistic as Art is that everybody's getting into it and training with it and using it. I think half the world is ready to figure out how to use it, and half the world is scared to death." Jane raises concerns about the potential exacerbation of existing inequalities and the need for educators to adapt to the changing landscape. "I think there are big issues we have to solve early in this. The big worry in my mind is will it exacerbate the divide that already exists between well-resourced schools, K12, and colleges and people with fewer resources and schools with fewer resources," she says. Art agrees with Jane on the last point. "We have very serious risks with regard to the expansion of that divide. We've got to figure it out – how to get educators educated with regard to AI and how they can utilize it in their efforts. I see (AI) as a long-term opportunity. I do think there is going to be very positive outcomes that flow out of it, but significant bumps along the way." "There are sectors where we're going to see the benefit. We're already seeing the benefit in health care; I think this is going to make personalized healthcare a reality," Jane says. She continues, "There's a real opportunity to do individualized education for the first time ever in a time effective way if, as Art sys, we get teachers the training they need." Reflections from the WorkingNation Advisory Board The growth and use of AI is just one of the many workforce issues – and potential solutions – discussed in depth by members of our WorkingNation Advisory Board in our annual year-end series The Future of Work. Art, Jane, and I also talk about some of those ideas, including the importance of lifelong learning, reskilling older workers, purposeful work, and equitable access to resources and support for workers in navigating the changing job market.

In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, Taj Eldridge, managing director of Climate Innovation at JFFLabs, joins me to talk about how the rapidly growing demand for workers in jobs that are addressing climate change. The climate is changing and we need millions of green workers to help prepare for, recover from, and adapt to these changes. And we're not just talking about solar panel installers and wind turbine technicians. In fact, these jobs make up a very small fraction of the green jobs and potential green jobs out there. "We believe that all jobs can be and will be green jobs," says Eldridge. "The reason for that is because we think that sustainability is no longer going to be this offset by itself idea. It is encompassing everything that we're doing, from what we're putting inside of our bodies, how our food has grown to what we're putting on our bodies, the clothing that we're wearing and the materials that we're having as well." He adds that legacy companies in legacy industries are also thinking of new ways to become more sustainable to attract a new market. "We see that the population is pushing it, the population is wanting this. And I think that's the difference from what we've seen before." In the Green Jobs Now report prepared by Lightcast for WorkingNation earlier this year, we estimate that there is the potential for 51 million green jobs – jobs helping repair the damage of climate change or preventing future damage – nationwide. Some will be new jobs and some will be jobs that are redesigned with sustainability in mind. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which will repair our roads and refurbish our bridges, is creating opportunities in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and architecture. "I love the fact that our federal government decided to have these laws in place from the Infrastructure Act to the CHIPS and Science Act, and so many others, to really move us forward," says Eldridge. "I also think that this idea of climate resiliency, the focus on climate and workforce is a global idea, (but) we're in the adolescent phase. There's a lot of growth. There's a lot of changes and there's a lot of organic changes." Helping workers and job seekers find the career opportunities connected to that movement into the green space is the mission of the Climate-Resilient Employers for a Sustainable Tomorrow (CREST) initiative, funded by Ares Charitable Foundation. CREST aims to close the gap between the demand for skilled green workers and the training needed to fill those positions. JFFLabs is one of the partners – along with World Resources Institute (WRI) – in the initiative. It's a nationwide effort, touching communities big and small. Eldridge explains, "We are working with local regional opportunities, organizations, municipalities, universities, schools, and community colleges, in order to train and place individuals into these jobs. We have a quantitative goal. The goal is 25,000 jobs within five years, but that's the minimum goal." "The hope is that the work that we're doing is catalytic, that other organizations would come on and see the issues that we're attacking and add to it, because we're going to need more organizations focus on this, more partners and everyone else," he adds. Eldridge and I go into detail about the types of climate-resilient jobs that are being created through this green jobs movement. We also talk more about the CREST initiative, including its support for entrepreneurs who have starting companies with protecting and repairing the environment in mind, and its support of micro, small, and medium enterprises in India that are key to the global supply chain. You can listen to our podcast here or download it wherever you get your podcasts. WorkingNation produced a digital magazine about the CREST initiative – Climate and Careers – which you can read here.

On this Giving Tuesday, a panel of distinguished leaders in philanthropy and business join me on the Work in Progress podcast to share their insight into the power of volunteering in your local community through your workplace. Since 2012, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving has been observed worldwide as Giving Tuesday. The message of the global movement is to give to your community – whether it is a donation of money or time – to help build a better world. Workplace volunteer programs have long been part of companies' brand management and community relations strategies, but what do they offer the workers who actually perform the volunteer work? A lot, as it turns out, from helping refine their skills to bringing a sense of purpose, of satisfaction, and a sense of empowerment as change agents in their communities, according to research from Ares Management. Ares unveiled its key findings September 20 in a white paper, Philanthropy, Purpose and Professional Development: Why Workplace Volunteer Programs Matter, and discussed them on a special LinkedIn Live event presented by Ares and WorkingNation, which you can listen to here. Joining me in this conversation are: Michelle Armstrong, head of philanthropy at Ares Management, elaborating on the research's findings about workplace volunteerism and why Ares employees are so passionate about giving back to their communities. Lee Fabiaschi, VP of employee engagement and community impact at Ares who shares insights into the company's own workplace volunteer program, Ares in Motion (AIM) and how the company intends to grow the initiative. Joseph Fuller, co-head of the Project on Managing the Future of Work at Harvard Business School talks about the hidden benefit for employers who sponsor community-based volunteerism for their employees. Asha Varghese, president of Caterpillar Foundation discusses the incredible value these programs have on building skills for employees, particularly Gen Z workers. Angela F. Williams, president and CEO of United Way shares what she's learned about the impact on the community when a company – big or small – invests in their employees who live and work there.

Workers over age 50 will soon represent 25% of our nation's workforce. Yet, few reskilling and upskilling programs are built to meet the needs of older workers and connect them with employers. Earlier this month, WorkingNation collaborated with the Center for Workforce Inclusion and CWILabs on the Equity Summit 2023, a daylong event addressing the workforce needs of midcareer and older workers. In this panel – Recruiting, Training, and Retaining an Age Inclusive Workforce – we discussed connecting older workers with the resources that empower them to pursue sustainable economic opportunity in today's workplace. My guests on stage were Hector Mujica, head of economic opportunities, Americas for Google.org; Dr. Mona Mourshed, founding global CEO of Generation; and Taylor McLemore, an investor and a partner at Future State. The panel explored the challenges faced by older workers in terms of reskilling and upskilling, as well as the lack of programs tailored to their needs. We also looked at potential solutions, such as successful skill development programs and the importance of continuous learning. My guests emphasized the need for employers to value the experience and skills of older workers and what they bring to the job, and for individuals to proactively invest in their own training and development. Organizations such as Google and Generation are providing that training and support for older workers. And all the panelists agreed that it is important that we re-imagining work and learning to create an age-inclusive workforce.

In this episode of Work in Progress, I discuss increasing access to capital for Latino entrepreneurs with Isabella Casillas Guzman, administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), and Nina Vaca, the founder and CEO of Pinnacle Group, a global IT staffing agency. I sat down with Guzman and Vaca at the Aspen Latino Business Summit in Washington, D.C. in early September. Small businesses are driving economic growth across the nation, according to the SBA's Guzman, noting more that 13.1 million applications from entrepreneurs wanting to start a new company. It might surprise you who is starting those companies. “What we're seeing is that women and people of color are propelling that growth, starting businesses at really high rates," says Guzman. “There are over 5 million Latino businesses here in this country creating jobs, creating products that are boosting our economic output. They have a 2.8 nearly trillion dollar impact in our economy, overall.” Despite being at the lead of the small business boom, Guzman says investment in this community's entrepreneurs has, typically, lagged. And, she says, that is hurting those business creators and the economy. “We're really tracking the changing face of entrepreneurship…to make sure that they have the tools to succeed because they have historic underinvestment that has limited their growth. And we need to change that if we want to see our economy grow into the future.” Guzman tells me that many of the entrepreneurs are credit-worthy but are being shut out when it comes to getting the financial capital they need to start up and to grow. "If they don't get those loans then that means they're not creating jobs, they're not creating the output. Maybe they're not going to trade abroad in a new country. All that limits economic activity and limits opportunity for all." She points out that the SBA was created 70 years ago to fill capital gaps through lending programs, investment programs, and to propel and direct the federal spending around R&D to innovation grants to small businesses. "We need to do that with equity in mind to ensure that we're reaching and serving and creating access to everyone," Guzman concludes. WorkingNation's Ramona Schindelheim interviews Isabella Casillas Guzman and Nina Vaca at the Aspen Latino Business Summit 2023 in September. Pinnacle Group's Vaca echoes Guzman, “It is clear that the Latino community is impacting America in a variety of ways, but in entrepreneurship in a very meaningful way. Thirty-four percent (34%) of the new businesses are started by Latinas and women of color. The contributions that we're making to the American economy are clear.” Despite those contributions, Vaca says growth is a challenge. “While there are many Latina-owned businesses in this country, less than 10% of them are actually scaling in a very meaningful way. And capital isn't just one challenge. It's access to capital, but also access to contracts.” She continues, “Government is an opportunity for contracts, so is corporate America. I think corporate America can play a very important role getting their supply chains acquainted with these HBEs, these Hispanic business enterprises that are out there. Because while many of them are small, there's also scaled global mature Hispanic businesses as well.” For Vaca, supporting her community is a passion. “I am spending a lot of my time advocating to the Latina, Latino community that business is an incredible place to be – not just STEM and technology – but business.” “Business is for everyone, and it's absolutely for Latinas. When I look at the level of Latinas that are in the C-suite, or in executive roles, or on boards, I don't get mad. I get motivated because we need to give awareness to our young next generation how powerful business can be.” You can hear much more from Guzman of the SBA and Vaca of Pinnacle Group on how to increase access to capital for Latino entrepreneur...

Kara Gooch, Engagement & Career Coach for active Apprentices with her dream company, Accenture, participated in Goodwill's Rising Together training program. After completion, she was offered a role within Accenture. Accenture is a partner of Goodwill's Rising Together initiative, which connects people, particularly those from populations that have been historically marginalized, with a wide range of resources, including skills training, transportation and internet access to support entrance into and longevity in the workforce. As a Goodwill partner, Accenture expands its Skills to Succeed services for youth and young adults, which provides skills training and resources to help them navigate their careers. The program also uses immersive virtual reality training to help people impacted by the criminal justice system learn to tell their stories on a personal level to interviewers and other people in their lives. Accenture recognize the important role professional apprenticeship can play in closing the skills gap in North America and increasing access to digital economy careers. It believes that apprenticeship programs create new career pathways for previously untapped talent and re-skill those whose jobs have been – or will be – disrupted by technology. The Apprenticeship Program at Accenture is an earn-and-learn model with benefits that provides a pathway to a full-time role with Accenture after a typically 12-month-long apprenticeship—a role with career opportunities for continued growth. Since launching the Accenture North America apprenticeship program in 2016, it has onboarded more than 2,000 apprentices. WorkingNation, a nonprofit media company focussed on the future of work, has released a short documentary film called "Glory in Overcoming." It focuses on three women ofcolor, all single mothers, who completed a skills-training program called the Goodwill Digital Career Accelerator. Kara Gooch, one of the women, had three daughtersunder age four and was getting divorced when she entered the training program she says changed her family's lives. The two other women, Chelsea Rucker and ShaheeraAlnatshia, also overcame significant obstacles before pivoting and finding tech careers.--Most people associate Goodwill with donation centers and thrift stores. The Goodwill Digital Career Accelerator is a training program designed in partnership with Google and with more than $29 million in funding and grants from Google.org. Since 2017, Goodwill says more than 1.5 million people have upgraded their digital and tech skills throughthis and its other training programs, and that more than 350,000 U.S. workers have landed jobs (both in the tech industry and in "non-tech" industries where tech skills are in demand.)
Jane Oates, President of WorkingNation, and former U.S. Department of Labor official, joins the program to share her reflections on the recent U.S. DOL Employment and Training Administration Vision 2030 Workforce Convening. Jane covers topics including the need to focus on equity, career pathways to quality jobs, and building a strong care economy.

Our return guest is Joan Lynch, a prize-winning producer and Chief Content Officer of WorkingNation. That's a non-profit journalism and media company that brings attention to issues impacting the workforce, and shines light on solutions that can make a difference. Joan explains how implementing the Infrastructure Act requires more trained workers, which means employers and government officials are creating a mix of programs to move people quickly into new careers. She says if recruitment of talent is done well, it will provide millions of opportunities at every level, from construction to management, and many new jobs won't require a degree. Joan also predicts that new possibilities will open for people who have been marginalized in the past, like older workers and those with disabilities, as well as the neurodiverse community.
