Who Gets In? How can we support them?

“Our Next Economy” ForumBrooklyn Borough Hall, Nov. 19 2016

• Can investments in community and infrastructure help to catalyze new work opportunities for the un- & under-employed?

• Are there education and training programs that can be expanded or adapted to help address these needs?

• What policies and additional investments are needed to help ensure that investments in climate adaption are supported by a viable financial and human framework?

Expand Social Resilience through Investments in the Workforce

In New York there are 22 specific types of construction and building O&M jobs where only a high school diploma or a GED is needed to get a foot in the door;

• “Getting a job is one step, but what about promotion? How can today’s entry level workers get ahead, and move up the ladderin their field?”

- David Gibbs, T4D Lab

• “There are great opportunities not just for employment, but also for community equity and ownership in these assets.”

- Morris Cox, bloc power
