<p>We are kicking off our lead up to next week’s Future of Work Conference on Thursday Nov. 12th from 9am-11am PST with a compelling, in-depth and rich conversation with Tamar Jacoby, the Founder and president of Washington D.C’s non-profit, Opportunity America.</p> <p>It is a think tank and research shop that focuses on workforce education. Tamar Jacoby expresses how she wanted to be a "Part of the train wreck rather than write about it” as her background was in journalism before she created this non-profit to lean in further in finding solutions for the problems she cares so much about. And when it comes to the future of our workforce, she tells us that community colleges are definitely part of that solution.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Don't miss Tamar Jacoby LIVE along with many other workforce leaders at our free virtual event The Future of Work Conference Nov. 12th.</p> <p>You can register here:</p> <p><a href= "https://pasadena.edu/news-and-events/events/future-of-work.php">https://pasadena.edu/news-and-events/events/future-of-work.php</a></p> <p>More from Tamar Jacoby:</p> <p>Visit the website: <a href= "http://www.opportunityonlineamerica.org">www.opportunityonlineamerica.org</a></p> <p>Connect on <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamar-jacoby-91428055/">LinkedIn</a></p> <p>Find the transcript to this episode <a href= "https://pasadena.edu/community/economic-workforce-development/index.php"> here</a></p> <p>To connect with us about the podcast visit our <a href= "https://pasadena.edu/community/economic-workforce-development/index.php"> website</a></p> <p>Please be sure to subscribe, rate and review us on apple podcasts or wherever you listen to your podcasts!</p>
