MAX Minutes with Che Watkins, Braven Atlanta, to Focus on the Role of Social Capital

August 3, 2026

Social capital plays a critical role in workforce development by shaping access to relationships, networks, mentorship, and opportunities that influence career advancement and economic mobility. In our next MAX Minutes session, we will explore how these connections can help individuals navigate career pathways, build professional confidence, and access opportunities that may otherwise be out of reach.

Joining our next MAX Minutes will be Che Watkins, Executive Director of Braven Atlanta and former chair of the MAX Provider Council. Watkins will share insights on the importance of building social capital and how intentional networks can support emerging talent. The discussion will also examine how employers, higher education institutions, and community organizations can work together to create more equitable access to meaningful connections and strengthen workforce outcomes.

Join MAX on Friday, August 28th, 9:00 AM, for a timely and virtual conversation.
