As we enter 2025, the USA job market finds itself at a crossroads. Labor force participation is still below pre-pandemic rates. Improving workforce development & STEM education is at the forefront of dialogue and research in response to USA economic issues. Many students and families are working multiple jobs to be successful, while failing to meet financial obligations. In 2025, college faculty members, professional development leaders, and business experts will tour USA at colleges and community centers with the Hustle: Workforce Development Summit (seminar and luncheon) to highlight techniques that help communities thrive.
