  • Summary

  • It’s no secret that our nation’s education and workforce systems don’t work the way they should. As a result, there are deep and persistent inequities in how people access information, opportunity and the support that is critical to their economic and career advancement. In the Building Equitable Pathways Podcast by Jobs for the Future (JFF), host Kyle Hartung speaks with leaders from across the country working at the intersection of education, training and workforce development. Together, they discuss the work their organizations are doing to create equitable pathways systems so that more Black and Latinx youth and young people experiencing poverty succeed in college and their future careers. We hope you will learn with us as we seek to increase our individual and collective capacity to transform and center racial equity in our education and workforce development systems.
