Training on reporting workforce's future available [US]

Business, education, community, city and general assignment reporters and editors are invited to apply for this free training.

Poynter is organizing "A journalist's guide to covering the future of work" Sept. 27 and 28 at its campus in St. Petersburg, Florida.

This program aims to help journalists educate themselves and their local communities about the future of the workforce in their region.

Participants will understand the concepts behind the issues facing the future of work; examine the future of work and modify the lens through which they view job stories; use storytelling to connect the skills gap problem and solutions to the people who need to learn about it most; find data with indicators on the future or work, understand it and build solution-based stories around it; and more.

The deadline is Aug. 10. There is a limited number of travel stipends.
