June 30, 2025 2:00 pm
State of Our Workforce is your front-row seat to the movement transforming workforce systems across the country. This podcast explores how we build an equitable future where all workers have what they need to thrive, race does not dictate career success, and every job is a good job.
Through two series—our monthly deep-dive interviews with national thought leaders, and our ground-level conversations from communities putting equity into action—we bring you bold ideas, real stories, and practical strategies from changemakers reshaping what work looks like in America.
From policy shifts to grassroots innovation, this is where workforce transformation comes alive—Nationally Powered, Locally Driven.
Tune in to State of Our Workforce and be part of the movement shaping the future of work.
