Opportunity Youth - Jersey Mike's Month of Giving / Make-A-Wish CT - CT's Chief Manufacturing Officer

Mar 10, 12:15 PM

Today we'll help you form some perspective on severely disengaged and disconnected youth in Connecticut. A growing coalition of organizations has just released a series of recommendations to state policymakers to address the 119,000 Connecticut youth in need of guidance and support to get back on track. So stick around and learn how you can help inform your state lawmakers about supporting Opportunity Youth.

And since it's March - our friends from Jersey Mike's are back to chat about their Month of Giving - one of the most satisfying philanthropic campaigns around - along with Jersey Mike's Day of Giving on March 27, which returns 100% of all sales to their select charity. We'll also bring in a rep from Make-A-Wish the exclusive Connecticut recipient of all the proceeds from Jersey Mike's Month AND Day of Giving.

Then, we'll wrap it up hearing from Connecticut's Chief Manufacturing Officer and how his team is helping manufacturers take advantage of market opportunities to grow their businesses with programs ranging from fast-track workforce training to funding and research to help state manufacturers compete and grow globally or remain sustainable entities within their market sectors.
