The Challenge

Puerto Rico sits at a juncture. After years of recession, the economy finally shows signs of recovery. If seized correctly, this growth can be leveraged to propel the upward economic mobility of the majority of people in Puerto Rico who live in economic insecurity. But what do we mean by upward economic mobility? Why does it matter in the specific context of Puerto Rico?

The Opportunity:

Unprecedented federal aid – upwards of $52.8 billion not yet spent – is available for construction. This is a generational moment to catalyze sustainable economic development and provide ample opportunities for making gains in all aspects of our society.

The NEXA: Jobs Summit convenes social innovators, investors, and civil leaders to develop strategic solutions for workforce development, ensuring a more equitable and prosperous future for all. A Blueprint Framework for Economic Mobility will be presented and used in the two-day Summit to focus on best practices, impact investment, and social innovation, with an emphasis on solutions to develop economic growth with Good Jobs.
