Join JVS Boston for our latest Economic Opportunity Forum, hosted at ArLab, our state-of-the-art career institute in downtown Boston. The forum will focus on how the workforce in Massachusetts is likely to change dramatically over the next few years.

This timely discussion will be grounded in data trends presented by Dr. Mark Melnik, Director of Economic & Public Policy Research at UMass Donahue Institute, followed by remarks from MA Economic Development Secretary Eric Paley on the implications for Massachusetts.

The panel will explore:

• Projected needs and strategies for workforce adaptation
• Pressing concerns surrounding labor shortages, particularly in healthcare and human services
• Factors such as immigration policies and shifting demographic trends
• How workforce development, education, workers, and employers can respond effectively in the context of potential recessionary signals.
