What makes a community truly strong? At Journeys Map, we believe it starts with a resilient, well-prepared workforce. That’s why we are proud to announce that our own Erin Tanner has joined the prestigious Burnham Center for Community Advancement’s Workforce Development Working Group.
This collaborative effort is a significant step in our commitment to working directly with San Diego employers and leaders to foster a more resilient talent ecosystem. The working group is tackling some of our community’s most pressing challenges. We are focused on:
- Building new pathways to high-growth, high-wage industries.
- Providing a lifeline to those whose careers were hardest hit by the pandemic.
- Fostering a new generation of entrepreneurs and innovators.
Journeys Map had the opportunity to present our tool to the group, demonstrating how our data-driven platform can empower career guidance and professional growth for individuals across the county. Our solution is a natural fit for the group’s mission to innovate, organize, and impact San Diego’s workforce development.
We were inspired by the depth of expertise in the room, with leaders from key sectors including education, military and defense, corporate finance, and community-based organizations. This diverse collaboration is exactly what’s needed to build a future-proof workforce.
Erin shared, “These types of collaborative conversations, between education, military, and industry are exactly what’s needed to innovate and strengthen solutions.”
We look forward to collaborating with these esteemed partners to create meaningful change and build a more prosperous future for our community.
