After witnessing the unjust socioeconomic disparities that minorities face and experiencing extreme poverty firsthand, Dr. Malcolm Adams, now known as the Purposeful Economist, freed himself of financial hardship’s heavy burden. And he has made it his mission to help others do the same.
Once a homeless youth, Dr. Adams longed for financial security and was determined to cultivate a limitless and fulfilling life for himself and his community. This intrinsic drive forged his path to becoming a Top 100 Global Leader in Finance, taking 1000+ individuals, families, and businesses from scarcity to financial abundance.
Dr. Adams’ vision is to serve younger generations by providing them with the tools and resources they need to thrive in the 21st century as a highly accomplished and experienced professional passionate about agritech, aerospace, sustainability, workforce development, and education. With over 20 years of experience delivering innovative workforce development programs, Dr. Adams established the Adams Career Academy to connect youth to learn-and-earn training pathways such as apprenticeships. To date, he has exceeded traditional apprenticeship benchmarks, providing over 500 young adults training and placement in IT, advanced manufacturing, agriculture, transportation and logistics, healthcare, and business administration. In the process, Dr. Adams has pioneered innovative solutions to disrupt current workforce development practices, driving the Department of Labor to adopt new standards across 200+ statewide and national programs to enable the Administration’s efforts to provide 1 million apprenticeship opportunities over the next four years.
Dr. Adams is the author of Purposeful Economics. He remains motivated by his ability to empower and arm those struggling with the knowledge they need to prosper and overcome adversity.
