Join WMHT Public Media and Hudson Valley Community College on Wednesday, Oct. 20 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the BTC Auditorium for a community conversation around equity, education and opportunity in the workforce.
“The Future of Work” raises critical questions and explores compelling diverse individual experiences. Hear from local expert perspectives that can help us understand what the future holds for the U.S. workforce and why that matters in today’s world. Is the right to work a human right? Is the future of work about entrenched haves and have-nots? What are the merits of college vs. training programs in preparing for the jobs of tomorrow? How do we protect and preserve employment opportunities that sustain families, communities, and the nation — fundamental aspects of the American Dream?
Free and open to the public. Visitors are asked to wear masks while on campus. You can also join the event via livestream at https://vimeo.com/event/1372811.
