After the LA fires, how do we move past emergency response and into building sustainable crisis prepared communities who know how to bounce back? At our 7th annual Future of Work Conference, PCC led the conversation with local community leaders and experts on rebuilding after an unprecedented disaster. In this special excerpt from the conference, Dr. Salavtrice Cummo, discusses firsthand insights about building resilience and fostering renewal with Victor Gordo, Mayor of Pasadena. Tune in for an honest look at how thoughtful collaboration, listening to community needs, and investing in people can make a city not just recover, but thrive.

You'll learn:

  • How emergency response and recovery efforts have shifted towards investing in physical infrastructure to human capital.

  • Why preparing an effective and resilient future workforce means valuing a diverse range of skills, from formal education to skilled trades.

  • How effective teamwork between educational institutions and local government balances the disparate needs of the community's current workforce, students, businesses, and residents simultaneously.

  • About the interwoven nature of community recovery and workforce readiness.
