SUMMARY:Workforce Barriers Summit • How Collaborative Efforts Can Address Economic Mobility In NEPA
DESCRIPTION:Economic mobility is the cornerstone of thriving communities\, and community foundations across the country play a vital role in convening stakeholders to break down barriers and invest in solutions that support upward mobility. Addressing workforce development\, transportation\, and equitable housing together is key to this mission. Affordable housing enables workers to live near job opportunities\, reducing costly commutes that hinder stable employment\, while equitable transportation expands access to jobs\, especially for hourly and low-wage workers. When aligned with workforce development efforts\, these investments create inclusive economies that foster opportunity\, reduce income inequality\, and promote long-term economic stability.The Scranton Area Community Foundation’s Community Impact Team is leading efforts to bring local stakeholders together to tackle these challenges and create pathways to economic mobility across the region. Join them to learn how community foundations nationwide are driving solutions that build more equitable and prosperous communities. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!
