The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be felt for many years, and states must initiate plans now to help boost recovery. In this series of six webinars, SREB will explore how state leaders can strategically use workforce and education funding to help their state economies bounce back more quickly. 

Each webinar session will include a presentation from SREB representatives with recommendations and considerations for policies and programs, strategies for equity and ideas for using multiple funding sources to support efforts. Additionally, leaders in states with exemplary initiatives will share how they are using the strategies discussed in their states.

Participants can sign up for individual webinars to learn about topics of interest or register for all six to explore a comprehensive approach to the challenge. DOWNLOAD FLYER
