On June 10th, Price Center Director Gary Painter and LeadersUp President & CEO Jeffery Wallace had a timely discussion on Building an Inclusive Economy for Unemployed Black Youth. LeadersUp is a talent development accelerator working with companies to develop new, diverse, and inclusive paths to employment, especially for historically economically marginalized talent pools. Throughout the discussion, Mr. Wallace and Professor Painter spoke about the necessity to build anti-racist systems and how social innovation plays a key role in creating fair chance hiring – particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic for unemployed black youth.
