Workshop B: Workforce Development in the 21st Century
People who live in poverty are in poverty because they do not have the income or economic resources to adequately support the basic necessities. This causes a widening of the wealth gap, which is a critical issue facing many households today. The need to prepare and educate a viable workforce for jobs of today and tomorrow should be priority #1. Employers may create great jobs, but we must have a workforce skilled to do the job at hand. Join this distinguished panel as they share their expertise on how urban centers can better prepare the workforce to earn and maintain livable wages. LEARN, ACT & CHANGE!

Workshop C: Dollars & Sense: Money Matters in Your Community presented by Prudential
Managing day-to-day expenses can be challenging enough. But adding the pressures of mounting debt, saving for college and paying down student loans makes financial challenges feel overwhelming. However, building wealth, in particular wealth that can be passed on to future generations is critical to your family and the strength of the broader Newark community. Join Prudential and other distinguished panelists to understand how policy impacts the ability of urban communities to build intergenerational wealth and discuss how to get out of debt, save wisely and move from saving to investing in order to secure your financial future.
