The interview highlights how the organization works to remove barriers and create necessary stepping stones for women to get back into the workforce following caregiving.
“I looked at this as an economic opportunity,” said Freedenberg.
“Whenever you have stagnated talent, a skilled workforce, and those with education and experience that are not able to add to the labor market, it’s untapped human capital.”
With companies trying to keep up with workforce demands and women are recovering from job losses due to the pandemic, they discussed how Untapped Potential supports workforce development from both parties enabling success in return-to-work.
