Adult education and workforce development share the same goal: building opportunity for people and prosperity for communities. In this episode, Erin Vobornik speaks with Jaimie Francis from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation about where these systems naturally align—and how education and employer voices can come together for greater impact.

Jaimie shares national insights, real-world success stories (including the Kalamazoo childcare collaborative), and practical advice for policymakers and advocates working at the intersection of learning and labor.
