New York is moving quickly! Communities are being left behind.

New York industries are advancing while workers are standing still. Thousands of jobs are coming—but only for those with certifications, credentials, or cross-training (to perform multiple roles or develop skills across different areas).

With rising demand in skilled trades, clean energy, and tech-enabled vocational careers, New York is at a pivotal moment in workforce transformation. This one-day conference and career expo will connect career seekers, training providers, employers, community leaders, funders, and policymakers to explore the future of vocational careers, skilled trades, and economic mobility.

Whether you're seeking a new career, looking to exhibit, or want to partner as a sponsor, this is your chance.
