Returnships for Caregivers with Path Forward’s Tami Forman (S5E04)

Path Forward Executive Director Tami Forman discusses why we need to remove barriers and provide better support for caregivers returning to the workforce, which Path Forward aims to do by partnering with companies like Amazon, Apple, Walmart and more for paid, 16-week ”returnships” that help talented individuals re-enter the workforce. Tami also touches on the immense and unparalleled transferable skills gained through parenting, the long continued gender gap in the workforce, and the need for companies to remain focused on their commitments to hiring a diverse employee body. Tune-in to hear how Tami thinks the current recruitment landscape has shifted – and will continue to shift – amid the current pandemic and learn more about the nonprofit at pathforward.org.
