As our nation embarks on a monumental, formal recognition of our historical national Black holiday Juneteenth, Opportunities Industrialization Centers of America could not think of a better time to announce the OIC’s National Day of Opportunities. This year we celebrated our founder Rev. Dr. Leon H. Sulllivan’s legacy and purpose by hosting our Moving Mountains event. The virtual event Moving Mountains served as a culminating tribute to Dr. Sullivan’s contributions to our country’s growth in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Philadelphia PA: Ride To Work LLC (RTW) announced an exciting new partnership with OIC of America (OICA). This partnership will align Ride To Work’s transportation management services with OICA’s mission of workforce development for people in the reentry sector and other marginalized populations in OICA’s national network.

Workforce development is another area in STEM ripe for Good Trouble, Necessary Trouble. The consulting company McKinsey & Co. recently published a report entitled, “The Future of Work in Black America,” projecting that automation may disrupt 4.5 million jobs held by African Americans over the next 10 years. It is believed that automation which consists of Artificial Intelligence, machine language, and robots will replace low-wage, low-skill jobs in the near future. Many are afraid that the Covid-19 pandemic will hasten the shift to automation in the American economy.
