Episode 45.5 - Unpacked: Building Systems That Work for Immigrant Workers: Lessons From Boston feat. Andre Green
Episode 17
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025
In Massachusetts, new public investments are expanding access to English language learning for immigrants. But as Andre Green, Executive Director of SkillWorks argues, money alone won’t fix the system. To truly support immigrant workers, we need coordinated systems that recognize language access as a key pillar of equity and economic mobility. In this episode, we unpack what it takes to build those systems. Andre joins us to talk about how SkillWorks is reimagining English language learning as workforce infrastructure, and why centering immigrants’ experiences is essential to building a more equitable economy.Commonwealth Beacon: Funding Was the Start – Now We Need To Build Out Systems To Help Our Immigrant Workforce Learn EnglishAdvancing Workforce Equity in Boston: A Blueprint for Action
