by Alexis Glick###This week at New York's Javits Convention Center, one of the most important industry conferences will convene - the National Retail Federation's "Big Show 2017." As CEO of the student-wellness and youth-empowerment nonprofit GENYOUth, I view the folks at the National Retail Federation as comrades-in-arms. Now more than ever, we must empower youth with the skills and experience to build rewarding careers and successful lives in our global economy. As Matthew Shay, president and CEO of NRF says, "good jobs change lives," and the retail industry is coming together to create that change. These global companies share National Retail Federation's commitment to advancing workforce readiness with America's youth.
