Leading Austin’s Next Generation with Alyssia Palacios-Woods
Manage episode 454213485 series 3604812
In the latest episode of Austin Eras, we are thrilled to welcome on Alyssia Palacios-Woods, Executive Director at the Austin-based nonprofit Capital IDEA. Alyssia has been on an inspirational path that other young professionals should take note of as she's worked her way up the ranks while being a skilled communicator, a fundraiser and leader in the Austin area.
What really strikes us about Alyssia and one of the reasons we wanted to have her on, is that she really typifies what we think someone moving to Austin might do. Where they've lived, what they've done, how they've gone about it, she’s just taken it to a whole other level.
We’ll get into all of that on the show. Plus, we will take a deep dive into the challenges and opportunities facing Austin today. This is a chance to hear from someone who has strong roots in this community and a passion for helping build people up.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
- Her earliest memories of Austin involve the UT campus and Turtle pond.
- What drew her to the Austin Young Chamber of Commerce.
- The eye-opening statistics about poverty in Travis County.
- How Capital IDEA helps move people into high-demand careers.
- The opportunities she’s sees for the Austin in the future.
- What’s the future of workforce development going to look like?
- She shares wonderful insight into the regional connectivity between San Antonio and Austin.
