In early 2018, we launched JFFLabs to provide a critical connection between traditional workforce and education systems and new technologies, innovative financing models, and forward-leaning entrepreneurs. At this moment in history—with the events of 2020 exposing economic and racial inequities that are fracturing the foundation of our nation—we feel that these connections are more important than ever.
As we prepare for a new year, a new presidential administration, and an opportunity to pursue bold new solutions, I am thrilled to announce that Kristina Francis is joining JFF’s leadership team as the new executive director of JFFLabs.
