Emily McGrath
Senior Fellow and Director of Workforce Policy
The Century Foundation
Emily recently departed her role as Director of Education and Workforce Development at NextFlex to join the Century Foundation where her span of influence has expanded to include policy development that will improve people’s lives in education, health care, and in the workplace. Happily, for us, she will focus on workforce policy for the manufacturing sector, which will enable her to continue to work with NextFlex and the other Manufacturing USA institutes across the country. Under Emily’s leadership, she expanded FlexFactor to 13 states, reached over 15,000 participants through NextFlex workforce programming, and created new education and learning programs that span K-12 to the incumbent workforce.
