Description
For almost twenty years, the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program has convened local and national academies that bring together senior leaders from across the workforce ecosystem to learn together about increasing economic opportunity for all.
In this interview, we hear from Stephen Tucker, the founding president and CEO of the Northland Workforce Training Center in Buffalo, New York. Tucker is an alum of EOP's Sector Skills Academy and has served as a valued guest faculty member for many local Workforce Leadership Academies across the country.
Speaking with Senior Fellows Dee Wallace and Sheila Maguire, Tucker describes how he not only walks the talk as a leader but gives back to others using lessons learned as a program participant, job developer, economic developer, and champion for community, industry, and the workforce field.
