Understand Human Disparities at Maryland Workforce Outlook Forum
Maryland Workforce Outlook Forum
Addressing Human Disparities Across Our State
Wednesday, May 15
Program: 2:00–4:00 PM | Reception: 4:00–6:00 PM
Towson University West Village Commons
From urban Baltimore to suburban Prince George’s County to the rural Eastern Shore, many neighborhoods and communities are falling behind in health, education, and standard of living, compared to wealthier areas of the state. Although the causes for disparities are different, the outcomes appear very similar.
Understanding these human disparities is important. Not only does it help to uncover inequalities and how they manifest over time, it makes economic sense. This knowledge can lead to a better understanding of how policies can make a difference on individual prosperity and community well being across Maryland.
The 2019 Maryland Workforce Outlook Forum looks at human disparities across our state, what these disparities mean for residents, and discuss solutions to work towards more equitable communities.
Your participation informs business leaders, policy makers, and educators on actionable next steps and how to best target resources and efforts.
