Searching In San Diego

In this special episode of Getting to Know KRA, we sit down with Mr. Knowlton Atterbeary, Founder, President, and CEO of KRA, to celebrate the organization's 45th anniversary and reflect on the vision that launched KRA in 1981. Hosted by Jonathan Overall, the conversation explores Mr. Atterbeary's early inspiration to strengthen disadvantaged communities through workforce development, the core values that have guided KRA through decades of economic change, and the leadership lessons learned through growth and national expansion. Mr. Atterbeary also shares defining milestones, including national recognition from NAWDP, and offers a forward-looking perspective on how KRA is positioned to lead through today's evolving workforce challenges—from technology and labor shortages to long-term economic mobility and resilience.
