Workforce Leadership Academy

In partnership with the Aspen Institute, we launched the inaugural Greater Triangle Workforce Leadership Academy—a unique opportunity for workforce leaders to strengthen their skills, collaborate across sectors, and drive local change.

Selected through a competitive process, our first-ever fellows represent nonprofits, education, business, and public agencies, all united by a shared commitment to strengthening our regional workforce ecosystem.

The Greater Triangle Workforce Leadership Academy is designed to equip workforce professionals with the tools, insights, and connections they need to drive systemic change. Over the next year, fellows will: Engage with national experts and peers to explore innovative workforce strategies. Strengthen leadership skills with a focus on race, equity, and systems change. Collaborate on bold solutions to expand economic opportunity for all.

We're investing in the future of work through the Workforce Leadership Academy, which is an essential part of our broader strategy to ensure every resident can access livable-wage jobs and career pathways that support economic mobility. By equipping and empowering workforce leaders, we're helping build a stronger, more equitable Triangle.
