Join us to understand how recruitment challenges reflect the broader aspirations and needs of young adults that need to be met in the next generation of workforce development and education programs. Explore innovative strategies that go beyond skill-building to foster a sense of purpose, identity, and possibility among young New Yorkers. 

Data Deep Dives: Take a deeper look at the numbers of New Yorkers who are out of school and out of work.

Inclusive Models for People with Disabilities: Discover transformational programs that are connecting young adults with disabilities to meaningful professional experiences. 

Co-Designing Effective Career Pathways Systems: How are multi-stakeholder partnerships reshaping career pathways? This panel will highlight how intentional collaboration from the outset can create sustainable and meaningful opportunities.

Harnessing AI for Increased Efficiency and Impact: Our afternoon panel and breakout sessions will focus on the strategic use of artificial intelligence to enhance organizational impact. Breakout sessions will cover topics including AI for accessibility, AI for grant-writing and AI case studies in workforce development, featuring practical activities to integrate AI into your organization.

Take a look at our agenda here.
