The pandemic and its economic effect disproportionality impacted communities of color.
Upskilling and reskilling displaced black, indigenous and people of
color (BIPOC) workers and others left behind for high-wage careers
through meaningful credentialing programs can be a meaningful community
response to the current needs for talent and build long-term economic
resilience. If chambers do not support workers and employers in adapting
to the new realities of work and education, they risk leaving a large
swath of the most disadvantaged communities in their communities behind. Listen to this webinar to learn how two communities are planning to equip BIPOC students with
in-demand, industry-recognized credentials that can lead to career
advancement. Speakers shared where they are in the work and some
initial challenges faced.
