The Northland Workforce Training center is an inspiring example of how past disinvestment in Buffalo’s East Side community can be turned around, becoming a community asset to train individuals, especially on the East Side, for jobs in today’s economy. Led by the voices, talents, and experiences of the community, together we can change systems and reinvest in the East Side community, advancing financial prosperity for all.
