Heldrich Center's Diversity and Inclusion Forum

The John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development will host a Diversity and Inclusion Forum as an event dedicated to the center's mission of strengthening the American workforce as well as to increase workers' employability. This forum will focus on the overall status of diversity and inclusion in New Jersey—as well as regionally in terms of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors—and will include best practice strategies and diversity implementation plans. It will also recognize the groundbreaking work of the iconic Paul Robeson as a social change advocate and champion of social justice, especially in terms of Robeson's vision for “One America.” Guest speakers will be drawn from all workforce sectors and will participate in an extensive dialogue as well as a question and answer session.
