Working Forward, parts 1 and 2

Monday, September 1 at 9 and 9:30 p.m.

“Working Forward” goes beyond headlines to uncover the human experiences shaping the future of work.

“Working Forward: Finish Line” at 9 p.m.

At 9 p.m. on “Working Forward,” host Kathleen Bade explores the realities of workplace discrimination against older workers, and the inspiring ways people are pushing back.

In Arizona, older workers face systemic ageism as industries rapidly evolve. Despite being overlooked, they persevere, adapting to new technologies, retraining and leveraging decades of experience. Bade and her guests explore how to stay resilient, fight stereotypes and prove that skill, wisdom and relevance don’t fade with age.

“Working Forward: Unstoppable” at 9:30 p.m.

Then at 9:30 p.m., Bade and her guests shine a light on the struggles faced by single mothers as they try to pursue higher education.

As we examine systemic obstacles like childcare gaps, financial hardship, lack of support and rigid academic structures, the question emerges: How can we create a more equitable path to success?
