Hello Isaac,

More than once I''ve heard "we're all in this together," as an attempt to provide comfort that we are not alone amid the coronavirus pandemic. Perhaps what's more accurate is that we're not in the same boat but reckoning with the same storm.

Each community has a unique set of circumstances and industries. At the end of the day, we are all chasing the same outcomes: resilient and adaptable workforce ecosystems that can ride out the waves of uncertainty.

I want to personally invite you to a free webinar on Wednesday, May 20, at 2p.m. ET / 11a.m. PT. During this session, we will share stories from the field of how resilient workforce ecosystems build adaptable talent pipelines and upskill and reskill for reemployment.

Featuring commentary and stories from:

	Bronwyn Robertson Program Specialist for Adult Education Mississippi Community College Board
	Mike Longo Director, Lorain County Ohio Workforce Development Board
	Tanja Springer Murphy Assistant Education Administrator Central Office Education Branch, Federal Bureau of Prisons

This is something you won't want to miss! These individuals will share their ways to leverage workforce solutions for reemployment and employment alternatives, skill alignment, career readiness resources, and more. Make sure to bring all your questions for the live Q&A at the end.

Check out the details here.

I hope you can make it!

Best,

	Jenn McMahon Workforce Account Executive
	Jasen Jones Work Ready Communities

P.S. If you can't make it at this time, click here to sign up, and we'll send you the recording after the event.
