How can today’s workforce be prepared to connect with a global audience while still nurturing real, local community ties? At Pasadena City College’s Future of Work Conference, Dr. Salvatrice Cummo’s conversation with Julie Uhrman, co-founder of Angel City FC, offers a fresh perspective on addressing this challenge. Angel City isn’t just changing the game for women’s sports; it’s showing how a team can create a global impact while staying true to its community-focused values.  Julie’s take on this evolving landscape demonstrates the shift in what’s needed from professionals—storytelling skills, fostering genuine connections, and leading with equity. For students and future professionals, the path forward is clear: the future of work means blending local roots with a global vision and preparing for careers that are as inclusive and connected as the world they aim to serve. You’ll learn:  How fostering local community ties can prepare the workforce for global engagement. Why inclusive leadership is a competitive advantage for building lasting audience connections. Real-world examples show how to balance local impact with global ambition. Which essential skills training programs we should focus on for global career readiness. Why values-driven organizations are key for future workforce development.
