"Donta Green spares no words when describing the root cause of the workforce gap that exists in the region between communities of different races. “I feel like our region has adopted a system that was built by white men to put (first) the best interests of white men,” Green said during the Bridge to Equity: Workforce Development panel discussion on Thursday morning. “What that did was, it's not the generational wealth of the Black man and not just talking about money, but talking about access. Kids can only aspire to be what they see. So if all they're seeing is entry-level positions, then that's all they aspire to be. So I think this is deeply rooted. I think it's far beyond workforce development.” " -------------------------------------------- "“It isn't just being employed, but really about that job quality," said Felicity Williams, deputy chief of staff for Mayor Ed Gainey and one of the panelists. "Having a good job with benefits, being able to maintain that job. I think that's one thing that we have to look at in this region.” Williams, along with panel moderator Rob Cherry, CEO of Partner4Work, are serving as leaders to coordinate these efforts across the region by developing frameworks under the region’s federal Workforce Hub designation. One of these frameworks is the Pittsburgh Good Jobs Principles, which Williams explained are a set of standards that have been developed that stakeholders and employers across the region are being asked to commit to and adopt in their practices. These principles include prioritizing and tracking progress in training, hiring and retaining disadvantaged workers, offering support services, diversifying procurement and more. She said that currently, over 60 local organizations have signed on to implement these principles and report their progress. “We have to know that the people we're working with are committed to the same core values to be able to actually move this region forward in this way,” Williams said."

As many of you are aware, Wisconsin is grappling with significant workforce shortages, and our talent pools continue to shrink. This challenge impacts not only our businesses but also the communities we serve. One effective solution is investing in continuing education for our employees. By equipping them with new skills, we empower them to take ownership of their work and foster a sense of autonomy. This investment doesn’t just benefit employees—it breeds innovation and productivity, driving our organizations forward. Employers who prioritize continuing education see tangible returns: improved employee engagement, reduced turnover, and a stronger, more skilled workforce. It’s a win-win! I’m excited to invite you to the Gain & Retain: Empowering the Workforce of the Future event on Friday, October 18, 2024, at UW-Green Bay. Let’s explore how we can support our workforce and ensure a brighter future for all. Together, we can tackle these challenges head-on!

Of all the commentary we will see about #juneteenth today, the most important statements will take the form of action — including by employers who continue to work to close persistent disparities in employment and opportunity. At TalentFirst, we recognize that West Michigan can only succeed if everyone can thrive here. This recognition is the basis for our DE&I Toolkit, our DE&I Benchmark Survey, and our CEO Commitment. Our region still has work to do. But these strategic, practical actions provide a means to celebrate the freedom that Juneteenth represents, and to help make it meaningful for future generations. https://lnkd.in/ecqKaD_j
