UpSkill America — an initiative of the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program — and the Latinos and Society Program at the Aspen Institute, with support from Google.org, launched the Digital Skills and the Latino Workforce research project to better understand the challenges and opportunities that Latino workers and Latino business owners face to succeed in the digital economy. This webinar looks at promising approaches to digital upskilling of Latino workers, students, and households implemented by organizations around the country.
This event includes opening remarks from Domenika Lynch (The Aspen Institute Latinos and Society Program), Haley Glover (UpSkill America at the Aspen Institute), and Hector Mujica (Google.org), followed by a panel discussion with Karina Ayala-Bermejo (Instituto del Progreso Latino), James Barry (32BJ Training Fund), Pam Saez (Austin Community College), Linda Smarzik (Austin Community College District), Victoria Prince (The Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program), and Diego Deleersnyder (The Aspen Institute Latinos and Society Program). We conclude by taking questions from the audience.
