Join ATLytiCS for a lunch-and-learn series as we dive into critical issues impacting vulnerable populations in Atlanta. In these webinars, we’ll show how data-driven insights can help identify possible solutions in the Atlanta community. 

Metro Atlanta has a diverse population across the entire socioeconomic spectrum. With the fast-changing demographics, the most vulnerable may be getting left behind. 

On September 10th, we’re focused on preparing the workforce for today and the future.

1. Improving Educational Outcomes – Improving readiness for college and career is critical to the region’s future. The Atlanta region must work to improve elementary-grade reading skills, which are key to long-term student success, and also take advantage of the state’s expanding technical college system to better meet the needs of today’s employers.
2. Matching Available Jobs and Qualified Workers – The Atlanta region is a leader in jobs growth, but too many good jobs are going unfilled. More than half of the advertised jobs in the region require at least a bachelor’s degree, while only 35% of residents over age 25 meet that requirement. At the same time, some residents aren’t getting the skills needed to land a well-paying job.
3. Planning for Increasing Automation in the Workforce – The Atlanta region is one of the fastest-growing in the nation, but the long-term economic success of a large segment of our population is uncertain because of the rise of automation in the workplace.

This lunch and learn series will be online exclusively and participants will be given a zoom link to join. You can find the link on our MeetUp page.
