Workforce Development In Today's Economy, Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard, At "Leading The Way: A Workforce Development Video Campaign" Awards Ceremony Hosted By The Federal Reserve Bank Of New York And Pathways In Technology Early College High Schools In The Greater Rochester Area, Rochester, N.Y.

I would like to thank the staff at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for inviting me to attend this awards ceremony.¹ As many of you may already know, the Leading the Way campaign is a joint effort between the Federal Reserve Bank and the P-TECH² schools of the Greater Rochester area. It is wonderful to be part of an event that celebrates collaboration between educational institutions, local government, the Federal Reserve, and employers as they work together to provide appropriate training for young workers to fill local jobs needs. Collaboration creates a more vibrant workforce that is connected to actual jobs.
