EDPA’s Future Workforce Committee Update from Michael McMahon

3/25/2024
EDPA was thrilled by the overwhelming support shown for Future Workforce initiatives by our members at ACCESS 2023.

Michael McMahon

Donors came together to raise significant funds, which are already making a huge difference toward our current activities while being carefully managed to expand activity throughout 2024 and beyond. The EDPA Future Workforce Committee and EDPA Executive Committee are overseeing the management of these funds and leveraging member company production resources, when possible, to support efforts.

Several new Future Workforce initiatives have been identified already in 2024 including:

Production of comprehensive engagement kits for chapter and member FW activities
Production of additional banner stand resources
Production of a 10 x 20 booth for ASCA
Production of a 10 x 10 FW expandable frame shared space and open floor opportunities
Production of logo table drapes added to fulfillment inventory
Development of a system and one-location management for FW resources (management & distribution)
Exhibition space, drayage, electrical, etc., for defined events
Future Workforce landing page enhancement

In addition to the above, the following engagements are planned for 2024, with numerous others still being defined by EDPA local chapters:

Harvest Christian Academy in Chicago
Williamson College of the Trades job fair
United Federations of Teachers NYC School Counselors Conference
Blue Hills Regional Tech School Student Coop
ASCA (American School Counselors Association)
SkillsUSA (in collaboration with Exhibitions Industry Collective)

These initiatives and events are a testament to the dedication and commitment of EDPA members towards shaping the Future Workforce landscape for our industry.  If you are interested in engaging in EDPA Future Workforce activities, I encourage you to connect with your local EDPA chapters who are actively engaging in activities across the country.
