DYNAMIC KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Henry Bartholomay
Senior Partner, Opportunity@Work
Opportunity@Work’s mission is to rewire the U.S. labor market so STARs—workers Skilled Through Alternative Routes—can regain upward mobility, enriching their careers and communities. Over the next decade, we aim to enable this for 1 million STARs by opening up 10 million jobs, boosting STARs' earnings by more than $100 billion.
Henry Bartholomay is committed to increasing economic mobility and developing a workforce system that recognizes the power of all its participants. As a Senior Manager of Policy Partnerships, Henry is focused on helping public sector leaders recognize the value STARs bring to their workforce and increasing economic mobility for STARs via practice change, policy-making, and implementation of skills-based hiring strategies. He supports existing and growing partnerships in the policy and public sector ecosystem, with a focus on the advancement of opportunity for STARs in the public sector, and changing practice among public sector organizations to reach STARs and fill their most pressing workforce demands. In his free time, Henry writes music and enjoys exploring California’s abundance of beautiful hiking trails.
