Today on Midday, a conversation about two workforce development programs in Baltimore. One surveys the landscape of programs for young entrepreneurs, while the other targets under-employed residents who face barriers to employment. Those obstacles can include a criminal record, a substance abuse disorder or no housing.

Dr. Ronald Williams is an associate professor of management at Coppin State University and the founding director of Coppin’s Center for Strategic Entrepreneurship. The program works with young entrepreneurs like Dion Bowen, founder of Epic Art Universe, who joins the program, as well.
