A
A
I
want
to
start
by
recognizing
Mary
Wu
and
her
amazing
team
secretary
Jones
and
our
incredible
Administration
and
mass
bio
member
company
vertex
Pharmaceuticals
and
their
CEO
reshma,
who
you'll
hear
from
in
a
bit
so
in
a
it's,
we're
gonna
make
our
way
down
to
the
Massachusetts
Pavilion
called
the
state
of
possible
and
officially
cut
things
off
the
ribbon.
Get
this
started.
We
call
our
Pavilion
the
state
of
possible,
because
here
in
Massachusetts
we
turn
possibilities
into
realities
for
patients
around
the
globe.
A
There's
no
better
place
for
this
convention
to
happen
than
right
here
in
Boston,
because
we
are
the
number
one
life
science
cluster
in
the
world.
We
have
over
a
thousand
biotech
companies
here,
18
of
the
top
20
biopharma
companies,
of
a
physical
presence.
Here
we
have
over
a
hundred
academic
institutions,
but
we
didn't
get
to
be
the
best
place
in
the
world
for
Life
Sciences
by
accident.
It's
because
of
an
incredible
collaboration
that
we
have
here
between
industry,
government
and
Academia
and
you're
gonna
see
that
collaboration
put
to
work
today
with
this
very
exciting
announcement.
A
A
Everyone
on
this
stage
and
all
of
you-
we
have
a
shared
objective,
making
sure
that
every
resident
in
every
neighborhood
of
Boston
in
the
Commonwealth
can
see
themselves
working
in
a
career
in
the
Life
Sciences
and
creating
the
pathways
to
get
these
folks
there.
That's
what
this
is
about.
Mayor
Wu
and
her
team
understood
the
challenge
and
they're
coming
to
the
table
with
the
resources
and
a
solution,
it's
about
making
sure
that
our
Workforce
represents
the
patient
population
that
we
serve.
A
So
thank
you
to
all
our
community
leaders
and
our
corporate
leaders
for
your
dedication
and
your
passion
to
this
important
issue.
We
all
want
to
make
sure
that
Massachusetts
stays
the
best
place
in
the
world
for
Life
Sciences.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
Innovation
that
happens
here
can
positively
impact
patients
people
around
the
globe,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
every
person
who
wants
to
work
in
a
career
in
the
Life
Sciences
has
that
opportunity.
B
Good
morning,
everyone
welcome
to
Boston
welcome
to
the
birthplace
of
America
and
the
place
where
people
from
all
over
the
world
come
to
make
sure
that
they
can
be
part
of
the
big
ideas
that
are
going
to
change
the
world.
Thank
you
so
much
to
Kendall
for
your
leadership.
Thank
you
to
everyone
who
had
a
hand
in
the
many
many
months
of
planning
for
this
incredible
convention
to
be
hosted
right
here.
I
heard
18,
000
pre-registered
guests,
Eddie
Coppinger
told
me
on
the
way
in
and
many
more
that
we
expect
will
join
as
well.
B
I
want
to
thank
and
recognize
colleagues
in
government
who
are
here
as
well:
City
councilor,
Michael
Flaherty
is
here
who
lives
right
down
the
road
as
well
and
has
been
a
big
cheerleader
and
support
for
this
industry
as
well
as
City
councilor
Frank
Baker,
whose
District
just
down
the
road.
The
other
direction
is
going
to
be
the
home
and
hub,
and
he's
been
a
huge
advocate
for
making
sure
that
these
facilities
and
jobs
the
real
estate
the
workforce
fits
together.
B
I
also
recognize
so
many
folks
who
are
here
from
our
higher
education
sphere,
whether
it's
UMass,
Boston
or
I,
see
Harvard
represented
here,
and
many
of
our
local
universities.
I
see
folks
from
Healthcare
from
all
of
the
major
tentpoles
of
Boston
coming
together,
because
we
see
Life
Sciences
as
part
of
that
glue,
making
sure
that
all
of
our
Innovations
can
reinforce
every
single
sector.
B
There
are
many,
many
folks
from
the
city
who
have
been
thinking
through
how
we
can
best
be
a
partner
on
the
public
sector
side.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
leaders
from
our
Administration
who
are
here.
We
have
our
chief
of
policy,
Mike
Firestone.
We
have
our
director
of
office
of
women's
advancement,
Alexandra
Valdez
who's
here,
I'm
gonna,
I'm,
gonna,
miss
others,
but
I
see
a
representation
from
many
others.
Jody
from
our
worker
empowerment
cabinet
who
Trin
win
our
cabinet
Chief
will
represent
office
of
Economic
Opportunity
and
inclusion.
B
Many
many
more
who
we
are
a
partnered
to
bring
together
to
make
these
important
announcements
today,
so
I'm
thrilled
that
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
Kendall
and
the
team
at
Mass
bio,
Zach,
Stanley
I
want
to
give
Zach
a
special
shout
out
for
being
in
many
many
of
our
planning
sessions
as
well
and
alongside
the
city,
the
state
and
Community
Partners.
We
are
so
proud
to
host
This
Global
event.
It's
a
powerful
statement
to
kick
off
this
week,
focusing
on
our
local
Workforce
and
between
training
providers,
community
and
higher
education
Partners.
B
B
The
biointernational
convention
brings
together
biotech
and
Life
Sciences
leaders
from
around
the
world
and
they're
here
in
Boston,
for
the
same
reason
that
global
leaders
continue
to
choose
our
city
as
the
place
to
convene
the
world's
brightest
Minds
to
accomplish
the
previously
impossible
tackle
the
climate
crisis
cure
cancer,
innovate
for
the
public
good.
We
are
a
city
committed
to
Innovation
for
Community
for
the
good
of
our
people
and
the
good
of
the
public.
B
There
have
been
many
months
already
of
a
small
group
in
many
places
around
the
country,
already
planning
analyzing
each
of
the
barriers
and
what
we
can
do
from
every
sector
to
reshape
that
landscape,
and
so
today,
we're
announcing
some
of
our
initial
steps.
First,
an
initial
Grant
application
round
of
four
million
dollars
for
industry,
aligned,
training
and
education
programs
to
connect
Boston
residents
to
good
paying
Life,
Sciences
jobs
and
career
pathways.
B
This
grant
round
will
also
establish
an
intermediary
organization
responsible
for
providing
additional
support
to
workers
and
employers.
This
intermediary
will
help
with
the
challenges
that
many
of
us
face
in
our
daily
lives,
like
child
care
and
transportation,
to
ensure
that
this
inclusive
employment
pathway
becomes
a
permanent
fixture
in
the
industry.
B
We
also
know
that
many
of
our
communities
are
feel
deeply
disconnected
from
the
opportunities
and
benefits
our
life
sciences
sector
creates.
So
as
part
of
this
launch,
we
are
announcing
that
two
of
our
most
important
Partners,
the
American
city
coalition,
I'm,
sorry,
three,
three
of
our
most
important
Partners,
the
American
city,
Coalition,
Lab,
Central,
ignite
and
mass
bio
Ed
will
be
our
partners
in
a
campaign
to
increase
awareness
of
Life
Sciences
career
opportunities
all
across
all
of
our
neighborhoods.
B
We're
doing
this
because
we've
been
having
a
lot
of
conversations
in
community
and
in
listening.
Almost
every
conversation
included
some
feedback
about
how
to
build
more
inclusive
career
Pathways.
You
have
to
increase
awareness.
Our
residents
told
us
you
have
to
bring
these
opportunities
directly
into
our
communities.
B
So
I
want
to
thank
my
friends,
Reverend
Willie
bodrick
from
the
American
city,
Coalition,
Gretchen,
cook,
Anderson
from
Lab
Central,
ignite,
I.
Don't
know
why
she's
down
here
and
sunny
Schwartz
from
Mass,
bioed
and
and
all
of
their
teams
for
joining
us
to
close
that
Gap
to
forge
a
more
Equitable,
meaningful
and
mutually
beneficial
connection
between
our
life
sciences
sector
and
all
our
communities
here
in
Boston
before
I
turn
it
over
to
these
leaders
who
make
this
announcement
possible
today.
B
I
also
want
to
thank
the
Bloomberg
Harvard
City
leadership,
initiative,
I,
know
David,
Marie,
Lee
and
many
other
members
of
that
team
from
Harvard
and
Bloomberg
are
here
today.
Thank
you
for
being
champions
of
this
work
from
day,
one
thank
you
to
everyone
from
the
city
and
all
of
the
other
members
of
our
working
group.
B
A
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
getting
us
to
this
point
and
this
announcement
and
there
is
even
more
work
to
do
to
deliver
on
this
commitment
to
our
community.
So
we
are
so
grateful
for
your
support
now
and
in
the
months
ahead
now,
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
our
next
speaker,
Massachusetts
Secretary
of
Labor
and
Workforce
Development,
Lauren
Jones.
We
are
so
proud
to
have
a
city
government
alumna
in
this
role
supporting
workers
in
Boston
and
across
our
Commonwealth
secretary
Jones.
C
Well,
good
morning,
I
got
some.
There
was
a
lot
of
energy
when
mayor
woo
was
there
so
good
morning,
all
right,
great
I'm,
so
thrilled
to
be
joining
mayor
Wu
for
this
exciting
announcement
and
as
the
mayor
recognized
a
city
hall
Alum
so
to
be
joined
by
mayor
Wu,
her
Administration
and
so
many
partners
and
thinking
about
Pathways
for
our
city
residents
feels
like
a
nice
way
of
coming
back
to
another
bio
International
Convention
and
to
bring
Focus
to
our
Workforce,
which
is
so
important.
C
C
C
That
is
why
the
Commonwealth
is
dedicated
to
reimagining
how
we
invest
in
and
how
we
develop
our
Workforce
to
meet
the
industry
needs
today
and
for
the
future.
This
includes
expanding
opportunities
to
prepare
our
untapped,
diverse
talent
and,
as
the
mayor
shared,
this
significant
growth
happening
right
here
for
the
life
sciences.
Industry
is
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
needs
to
connect
to
the
city
of
Boston.
We
cannot
afford
to
leave
anyone
behind
as
the
city
grows
and
Workforce
needs
remain
in
high
demand,
as
everyone
here
knows,
especially
our
partners.
C
This
city,
our
Commonwealth
and
the
life
sciences
industry,
will
benefit
in
having
this
Talent
become
the
next
Lab
Technician.
The
next
biotech
manufacturing
associate
the
next
quality
assurance
leader
in
our
life
sciences.
Companies
thinking
about
ways
that
companies
like
vertex,
are
expanding
their
footprint
here
and
needing
to
find
their
Workforce
right.
C
The
Commonwealth
looks
forward
to
teaming
up
with
the
city
and
collaborators
here,
as
we
continue
to
grow
on
this
partnership
and
the
opportunities
ahead.
So
let's
leverage
this
momentum,
lift
up
some
great
Partnerships
to
demonstrate
scale
and
create
more
opportunities
to
build
a
diverse
Workforce
for
Life
Sciences
here
in
Boston
and
Massachusetts.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
secretary
Jones.
We
are
so
proud
and
grateful
to
share
the
Healey
Driscoll
administration's
energy
and
urgency
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
lead
here.
Our
next
speaker
came
to
the
United
States
from
Rwanda
when
she
was
17..
She
heard
about
the
Europe
training
program
through
a
friend
and
applied
Landing,
an
internship
at
vertex
in
2021
as
part
of
vertex
and
Europe's.
First
ever
biotech
pilot
through
that
internship.
She
earned
a
full-time
position
and
now
works
as
a
quality
assurance
coordinator
in
audit
and
inspection
management
at
vertex.
Please
welcome
Gael
akalisa.
D
Good
morning
Boston,
can
everybody
hear
me:
okay,
I
am
very
excited
to
be
here
today,
but,
first
of
all
thank
you
mayor
for
creating
opportunities
to
equip
young
adults.
Like
me,
it's
such
a
pleasure
to
see
women
of
color
as
Leaders.
It
makes
it
look
so
impossible
so
possible.
Sorry,
so
thank
you
so
much.
D
Am
a
product
of
a
Workforce
Development
program
like
they
just
said,
and
I
joined
Europe
during
covid
and
at
the
time
I
was
very,
very
nervous,
because
I
was
scared.
That
I
was
doing
myself
and
I
was
very
uncertain
about
this
path.
That
I
was
about
to
embark
on
so
with
a
lot
of
uncertainty,
fear
and
faith
I
decided
to
join
the
program,
so
the
first
six
months
I
was
for
developing
and
learning
and
it
was
very
intensive
and
I
was
able
to
earn
different
certifications
such
as
scrum
master
and
Microsoft
Office
I
was
challenged.
D
My
business
Communications
Hills
were
put
to
a
test,
so
it
was
really
amazing
and
then
the
six
months
after
that
I
went
to
intern
at
Vortex.
Pharmaceuticals
I
worked
with
tech
writers
to
write,
work
instructions
and
started
operating
procedures
for
the
areas
that
we
work
in
I,
helped
our
training
department
to
create
training
programs
and
curriculum
for
all
employees,
and
all
of
that
led
to
a
full-time
opposition.
So
now
I
support
documentation,
And
archiving,
so
I
have
learned
that
quality
and
compliance
are
essential
aspects
to
actually
to
our
mission
in
order
to
create
medicine.
D
Overall
vertex
created
an
environment
for
me
where
I
continue
to
grow
and
learn.
So
thank
you
so
much
to
my
team
and
my
department
for
their
continuous
support
and
providing
opportunities
for
me
to
thrive
as
a
young,
professional,
I
joined
vertex,
because
I
wanted
to
help
people
and
I'm
very
happy
that
year,
I've
made
it
possible
for
me
to
work
in
an
environment
where
I
feel
useful
and
I'm
adding
value
to
my
community.
D
D
I.
Think
that
all
these
programs
are
here
to
help
young
people
like
me
and
I.
Think
if
we're
providing
opportunities
and
providing
tools
and
resources
to
equip
young
adults
like
me,
we're
creating
a
better
future
for
all
of
us.
It's
a
greater
community
and
we
all
have
a
role
to
play.
See
Europe
gave
me
the
tools,
but
vertex
created
an
environment
that
continues
to
challenge
my
skills
and
to
maximize
them.
So
we
all
have
an
important
role
to
play,
especially
if
we
want
to
create
an
everlasting,
Legacy
and
put
a
mark
on
this
planet.
D
B
Vertex
is
not
only
changing
the
world
through
their
day-to-day
work,
but
our
CEO
Dr
basma
kawal
rahmani
has
been
making
sure
that
in
every
other
space
and
Community,
we
can
be
breaking
down
barriers
and
using
the
tools
and
the
levers
that
we
have
to
make
that
happen
as
quickly
as
possible.
I
also
want
to
thank
reshma
for
making
sure
that
a
Top
member
of
her
team,
Stacia
banknot,
has
been
part
of
the
day-to-day
planning
with
us
for
for
many
months.
So
thank
you
for
your
work
too.
B
F
I'm
going
to
take
two
minutes
to
share
four
things
with
you.
The
first
is
what
you
see
here
in
Boston,
the
leaders
behind
me,
mayor
Wu,
at
the
very
head
of
this
delegation,
but
all
the
leaders
on
stage
the
innovation
in
this
room
and
in
this
conference
center
and
the
weather.
It's
all
really
us.
We
are
really
like
this.
F
The
reason
I'm
so
passionate
about
workforce
planning
and
bringing
more
people
of
diverse
backgrounds,
including
those
who
are
younger
and
may
not
have
a
traditional,
four-year
degree
or
a
traditional
educational
background,
is
because,
while
I
may
be
a
medical
doctor,
my
background
and
path
to
the
CEO
role
at
vertex
was
probably
as
non-traditional
As,
It
Gets.
Clearly
it's
all
very
possible
and
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
to
make
sure
that
the
pathways
are
more
clear
to
all
involved,
particularly
those
who
live
in
the
city
of
Boston.
F
F
Vertex
is
just
a
mile
down
the
street,
but
we
are
one
company
of
many
who
are
making
new
medicines
for
patients
around
the
world
and,
if
that's
the
industry
that
defines
Boston
that
it
must
be
the
case,
it
is
only
right
that
we
have
Workforce
Development
that
allows
our
citizens
of
the
city
and
the
state
to
enter
this
most
wonderful
career
and
for
employers
like
myself
and
our
company
to
have
access
to
Talent.
That's
the
first
thing.
F
The
second
thing
to
tell
you
is
that
vertex
has
had
the
distinct
pleasure
of
partnering
with
Europe
an
organization
that
you've
heard
a
little
bit
about
that
brings
young
people
with
non-traditional
backgrounds
into
various
Industries
through
skill,
training
and
development.
One
of
those
Industries
is
indeed
the
life
sciences.
A
few
years
ago,
Gerald
charitavian,
who
you'll
hear
from
challenged
me
and
asked
me
how
many
jobs
at
vertex
do
we
have
that
require
a
four-year
or
more
degree.
F
The
answer
was
a
hundred
percent,
so
we
went
back
the
next
several
months
and
we've
scrubbed
that
and
it
turns
out
that
we
have
400
well-paying,
very
necessary
roles
like
the
one
guyella
currently
occupies.
That
doesn't
need
a
four-year
degree,
but
it
does
need
skill,
dedication,
passion
attention
to
detail
and
our
students
have
more
than
enough
we're
on
our
third
class
of
Europe
students
and
I
couldn't
be
more
pleased
with
the
partnership.
F
So
the
last
thing
to
say
this
initiative
that
mayor
Wu
has
initiated
demonstrates
her
leadership
and
her
commitment
to
Boston
residents,
but
also
to
the
life
sciences,
industry
and
I,
for
one
am
deeply
grateful
for
her
commitment
to
bring
more
skilled
employees
into
our
ecosystem
mayor.
Thank
you.
So
much.
G
You
know
I
think
today
we
heard
the
vision
and
the
leadership
from
our
mayor
from
leaders
like
reshma
Kendall,
your
work,
Lauren
and
I
am
so
convinced.
What
is
wrong
with
our
country
can
be
fixed
with
what's
right
with
our
country
and
I.
Think
today
you
see
with
this
effort.
What
is
right
with
our
country,
what
can
be
right
with
our
country
to
create
two
Pathways
for
folks
to
gain
access
to
livable
wage
jobs
in
our
community?
G
But
we
have
this
opportunity
in
front
of
us
right
to
work
together
to
create
Pathways
for
young
adults
to
get
meaningful
careers
in
one
of
the
greatest
Industries
in
this
planet.
Life
Sciences
right.
We
have
that
opportunity
in
front
of
us
and
we
also
have
to
face
reality.
Our
current
system
is
subscale
and
fragmented
right.
We
have
a
lot
of
organizations.
G
We
work
in
parallel
can
imagine
a
system
where
we
actually
didn't
always
work
in
parallel
that
we
were
much
more
coordinated
in
our
efforts
and,
ultimately
those
efforts
are
to
meet
the
needs
of
employers
and
ensure
that
young
adults
have
the
training.
They
need
the
hard
skills,
the
professional
skills
and,
at
the
same
time,
What
Rushmore
articulated
about
relaxing
four-year
degree
requirements
so
that
those
who
have
yet
to
achieve
a
four-year
degree
have
access
to
gain
entry
into
those
jobs.
So
it's
not
just
training
folks.
G
With
this
effort,
the
mayor
has
launched
I
want
to
just
say
thank
you
to
Mike,
it's
been
so
fantastic
here,
Stacia
as
well,
but
is
a
chance
to
build
a
scalable
streamlined
system
right.
We
think
in
systems
that
work
for
lots
of
people
not
just
one
program.
We
have
the
opportunity
to
build
a
system
that
ensures
that
our
training
programs
connect
properly
with
our
employers
and
our
employers
say
we
actually
value
this
Talent,
it's
relevant.
G
It
helps
us
grow
our
organizations,
that's
there
for
the
taking,
and
with
this
effort
from
the
mayor
and
the
mayor's
team,
we
have
the
chance
to
do
something
in
this
city
that
can
be
replicated
in
many
other
cities
in
communities
around
this
country.
So
we're
honored
to
play
a
small
role
in
this
process
and
to
help
think
through
how
this
might
manifest
here
in
Boston
and
the
chance
to
build
an
inclusive
economic
ecosystem
is
what
will
happen
and
it'll
be
good
for
our
citizens
in
good
for
our
companies
throughout
this
Commonwealth.
B
Thank
you
Gerald.
Next
up
we'll
hear
from
someone
who
is
so
passionate
and
creative
about
how
to
make
sure
that
we
are
actually
reaching
communities.
My
friend
Reverend
Willie
bodrick
is
a
senior
pastor
at
the
12th
Baptist
historic
12th,
Baptist,
Church
and
executive
director
of
the
American
city
coalition.
E
E
My
name
is
Reverend
William
second
I
serve
as
president
CEO
of
the
American
city
Coalition,
and
we
are
excited
to
be
here
at
the
kickoff
for
Bio
week,
the
American
city
Coalition
launched
Roxbury
Works
last
year,
with
intentional
focus
on
untapped
talent
in
Roxbury
Community,
hidden
workers
to
ensure
that
Community
identify
barriers
and
needs
and
opportunities
were
Avail
to
the
residents
of
our
community.
Roxbury
works
as
an
initiative
that
brings
hidden
skills
and
hidden
workers
into
the
talent,
Pipeline,
and
our
goal
is
to
pipeline
folks
into
life
sciences
and
biotech
Healthcare
and
blue
green
Tech.
E
This
model
was
built
on
research,
but
it
was
really
focused
on
people.
The
big
piece
about
this
is
that
no
one
can
do
what
they
don't
know
and
in
our
communities
many
of
folks
have
been
cut
off
because
they
don't
really
know
what
life
sciences
and
biotech
means.
That's
why
I'm
so
excited
to
partner
with
my
friends
like
Gretchen
cook,
Anderson
at
Lab,
Central
ignite,
come
on
give
her
a
round
of
applause.
E
It's
about
creating
real,
meaningful
jobs
and
real
Pipelines,
and
the
only
way
we
do
this
is
to
demystify
this
industry
and
ensure
that
there
is
true
access
and
opportunity
into
the
life
sciences
and
biotech
I
want
to
thank
mayor
Wu,
not
for
just
being
the
mayor
but
being
a
champion
of
community,
and
she
should
get
a
round
of
applause.
For
that.
E
That
is
the
work
that
we're
doing
today,
ensuring
that
we
diversify
this
industry
and
that
Boston
leaves
with
intentionality
and
we
as
the
American
city
Coalition,
along
with
Lab
Central
ignite,
along
with
mass
biohead,
along
with
so
many
other
partners
and
stakeholders
are
going
to
get
this
done
because
we're
going
to
make
Pathways
viable
we're
going
to
position
ourselves
as
a
global
leader
because
we're
going
to
invest
locally
in
Boston
residents.
Thank
you
very
much
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
all
of
you.
B
Thank
you,
Reverend
Patrick,
one
of
our
most
exciting
initiatives
has
been
the
creation
of
a
cabinet
focused
on
worker
empowerment
at
the
city
of
Boston.
At
a
time
when
Workforce
issues
are
so
Central
to
every
industry,
and
we
know
that
we
can
be
a
glue
and
a
connection
point
that
founding
Chief
and
Cabinet
of
this
cabinet
trendwin
has
been
such
an
integral
part
of
this
initiative.
I'm
proud
to
turn
the
mic
over
to
Trin
when.
H
Please,
thank
you.
Everyone.
Thank
you
to
all
Partners
I'll,
be
very
quick
I'm
last,
but
you
know
what
I
got
the
money.
So
that's
so
everybody
wants
to
hear.
We
do
have
a
request
for
Partnerships
from
all
everyone
we
want
to
hear
from
you
and
the
first
phase
is
live.
It's
RFP
is
4
million,
so
that's
live
on
our
website.
If
you
have
any
questions
follow
up
with
that,
and
the
RFP
really
focuses
on
two
main
things
with
you
heard
all
great
practices.
H
Evidence-Based
we've
been
doing
this
work
for
quite
some
time.
We
know
it
works.
We
want
it
to
go
to
scale.
We
want
you
to
believe
that
it
works
on
the
supply
chain
chain
of
the
RFP
and
this
first
investment.
The
funding
will
support
accessible
and
highly
supportive
training
opportunities
that
result
in
placement
and
Life
Sciences
occupation.
These
opportunities
will
be
designed
to
train
and
retain
those
from
underrepresentative
communities,
including
those
without
a
four-year
degree.
H
The
second
part
of
this
training
request
for
proposal
is,
on
the
demand
side,
we're
using
some
of
the
funds
to
support
the
establishment
of
a
Workforce
intermediary
to
engage
industry
leaders.
Like
you
all
here
and
have
an
expanded
role
of
informing
training,
curriculum,
removing
credential
barriers,
creating
certificate
training,
programs
and
training,
job
Seekers
and
incumbent
workers
for
reskilling
and
upskilling
into
Life,
Sciences
occupations,
focusing
both
on
young
adults
and
adults
who
would
like
a
real
career
Pathways
in
life
sciences,
so
that's
up
live.
H
We
do
have
an
information
session
scheduled
for
June,
the
20th
at
4
pm.
So
any
of
you
who
have
questions
can
follow
up
with
us
and
we
also
have
an
open
meeting
to
talk
about
q.
A
last
but
not
least,
I
do
want
to
take
my
last
few
seconds
to
thank
all
of
this
partnership.
You
cannot
believe
the
work
that
goes
into
it.
H
So
I
do
want
to
thank
yes
and
thank
mayor
Wu
for
really
championing
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
real,
like
the
weather
that
you
see
out
there
so
I
want
to
thank
our
internal
community
and
City
team.
We
can't
just
do
this
with
just
the
city.
We
need
to
hear
people,
we
need
to
learn
from
what
is
on
the
ground
and
we
take
that
and
we
shape
that
into
policies.
So
I
want
to
thank
Zach,
Stacia,
Mike,
Laurie,
Willie,
Gretchen
and
Alex
for
all
their
great
work
from
the
city.

cabinet.
Sarah

data
Community
Voices,
to
make
sure
that
the
practices
and
the
policies
that
we
work
in
the
city
of
Boston
means
a
lot
to
the
people
and
the
neighborhoods
here.
I
want
to
thank
a
Harvard
Bloomberg

H
Can

all
the
great

Can
you
all

to
make
sure
that
we
have
to
research
best
practices
in
the
models
that
we
work
at
the
end
of
the
day?
It's
about
the
money,
but
it's
about
the
institutional
knowledge
and
change
as

Forge
that
partnership
today

Beyond.
Thank
you
and
we
look
forward
to
working

This
was
incredible.
You
can
clearly
hear
the
passion
and
dedication
from
all
of
our
community
leaders
and
stakeholders.
So
thank
you.
All
the
work
is
just
beginning
and
you're
all
on
this
journey
with
us.
I'll
now
encourage
you
to
join
us
down
on
the
exhibit
floor
at
the
Massachusetts
state,
a
possible
Pavilion,
as
we
officially
cut
the
ribbon
and
get
all
the
fun
started.
Thank
you.
So
much.
