June 10 webinar - Sector Strategies and Immigrant Workers

Register at: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/817689448

Do sector strategies provide an effective career advancement model for immigrant workers?

In this NNSP webinar, Colin Austin of MDC, Inc. examines key characteristics of sector strategies and how they apply to Latino immigrant job-seekers. Drawing on a recent report produced with the assistance of NNSP’s Strategic Venture Fund, Colin analyzes a recent demonstration project, Latino Pathways, and describes what worked and what fell short.

As a comparative study, Colin reviews and applies lessons from Targeting Industries, Training Workers, and Improving Opportunities, a report by Public/Private Ventures on the Sectoral Employment Initiative, and adds new findings that relate to the immigrant workforce.

Please join us for this report from the field about how sector strategies are being applied in today's labor market.
