We’re proud to have hosted a fantastic two-day workforce development workshop in partnership with the Capital Region Workforce Development Board, featuring insightful presentations from Maria Ayoob of New York State Technology Enterprise Corporation (NYSTEC), Trent Griffin-Braaf of Tech Valley Shuttle, Laurie Thomson and Chris Pinheiro from the New York State Department of Labor, and Philip Bruce of RPI. The event started with a panel moderated by Brian J. Williams, featuring Josh Wisoff of OKNY, Trent Griffin-Braaf, and Katie Newcombe, the Chief Economic Development Officer of the Capital Region Workforce Development Board. The panel explored current trends, opportunities, and difficulties in workforce development strategies. Attendees gained valuable information on tax incentives, apprenticeships, the benefits of internships, and innovative workforce mobility solutions. The workshop was filled with engaging discussions and networking opportunities.
