"I have been involved in the workforce development field for over twenty-five years on the local and national levels. I have seen and worked with many of the best consultants and trainers in the field. Larry Robbin is one of the few at the top of that list. I have used both his consulting and training services on many occasions. Larry brings so many unique qualities to his work. His thinking is at the state-of-the-art of the workforce development field yet he is able to transform those “big pictures” ideas into strategies and techniques that are incredibly relevant to how employers think and how people with barriers to employment see the world so he is able close the gap between them with his consulting and training. I know many non-profit and government agencies that have used his services and we all share the same high opinions of his work. I strongly recommend his services to anyone that wants to improve their outcomes and bring their program closer to excellence."
Glenn Eagleson
Senior Planner and Policy Analyst
Department of Children, Youth and Their Families
Board Member of the National Youth Employment Coalition
“I had the pleasure of working with Larry on a 4-part webinar series that he presented for the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals that focused on working with job seekers that have barriers and challenges to finding employment. Larry is an engaging presenter who blends his expertise and experience to deliver a high-quality training experience. Larry is personable, relatable, and uses real life examples to get his point across to participants. The webinars were also interactive, and participants were able to learn from each other. Larry continues to empower individuals through insightful strategies that attendees can implement right away!”
Kim Meadows
Training Director of the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals
“If you are looking for someone who really understands the needs of the business community, the needs of hard to serve populations, and strategies for effectively serving both of these groups, Larry Robbin is the trainer you need. Larry’s workshops at national conferences are always packed and the attendees love him. As a member of the NAWDP Board of Directors, I know that we will have some great workshops at our annual conference when Larry’s name is on the agenda!”
Cindy Perry
Manger of Special Projects
Board Member of the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals
“Larry Robbin is my go to trainer for webinars. He brings tremendous depth and breadth of experience to his webinars. His ability to connect with the training attendees brings the material to them in their space so they can use it in their daily work. The best part is he is a pleasure to work with.”
Melanie Hitchcock Ph.D.
Regional Initiatives Manager
San Diego Workforce Partnership
"Larry was one of my first trainers in job development and has become a trusted source of information and tactics for me in the broader field of workforce development. He has unique experience compared to other trainers because of his relationships and consulting projects with business that he brings over to the non-profit sector to help us with engaging employers. Larry has also advised me and others on the development of job development-related coalitions in order to help us be as effective as possible. I highly recommend working with Larry on any project related to job development, human resources or workforce development.”
Matthew A. Poland
Director of MatchBridge
“I’ve been in the workforce development field as an Executive Director of several organizations for over twenty years. I consider Larry Robbin to be the most informed, thoughtful, strategic and practical trainer in our field. Larry has provided many outstanding webinars for our staff. I consider him to be the gold standard for webinar presenters.”
Barrie Hathaway
President and CEO
JobTrain
“Larry is an absolute joy to work with! With well over 40 years of workforce development knowledge, Larry's interpersonal skill set and his ability to relate has made him a rare executive coach in my opinion. The way he listens to understand, speaks to be heard and can agree to disagree has made our time together truly nothing less than phenomenal. Not to mention the countless workshops he has provided for our entire team at Young Community Developers, from case management principles to shaking hands virtually. Larry is nothing short of a chameleon who can adapt to any workforce development challenge, situations and circumstances with the cultural competency that will truly be an asset for any organization, agency or company.”
Dion-Jay Brookter MBA
Executive Director of Young Community Developers
“Larry Robbin is a trail blazer in the Workforce Development field. His knowledge and experience make him an exceptional trainer with real life experience to share. As an Executive Director of a Workforce Board, the best way for me to measure the quality of a trainer is by staff engagement and reaction. Not one of my employees, who has participated in a Larry Robbin training, comes out disappointed. Instead, they leave Larry’s training asking, “When is the next session, please sign me up!” Larry presents his material in a way that is easy to follow and apply. Larry is a gem and asset to our workforce system.”
Yolanda Castro
Executive Director
SELACO Workforce Development Board
“If you want to know anything about workforce development, you need to be following and reading Larry Robbin. Not only is he a lovely human being, but he’s also a true leader and visionary in the workforce development space and an absolute treasure trove of knowledge, information, and wisdom. I have learned so much from his trainings, newsletters, and consulting sessions - all of which have helped me build and lead more effective, more human-centric programs.”
Julia Hatton
Executive Director
Rising Sun Opportunity Center
Larry Robbin has provided many webinars, workshops and coaching sessions to The Unity Council’s workforce programs and leadership over the years. It is a true privilege to work with Larry. Not only is he a national workforce expert and understands how difficult it is to reach populations and all sectors, but he is also an amazing human being, with intimate knowledge of how to reach individuals and move the needle with employers and systems. Larry’s technical knowledge and passion for social equity comes across in every webinar and coaching session. I am fortunate to have Larry’s guidance, and our programs and service quality are much stronger with his help.
Armando Hernandez, MPH
Chief Operating Officer
The Unity Council
One thing that has always impressed me about Larry is that he is constantly learning. He uses his work with his private sector clients to inform his trainings, which he is constantly updating. He is extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable. I've heard so many practical tips from Larry over the years. Larry truly cares about helping people and employers and it shines through in his work."

CASAS occupies a distinct intersection between adult education and workforce development. This overlap across systems is reflected in the variety of attendees at our annual conference, the CASAS National Summer Institute. Larry has presented numerous webinars for our Summer Institute Conference and his evaluations are always outstanding. Larry has the ability to ensure his presentations always encompass, affect, and inspire all groups represented in his audiences. He presents practical solutions on a broad variety of topics — all supported by sound theories and substantiated by his vast personal experiences. Attendees know they will acquire original ideas from Larry’s unique point of view about how to serve learners more effectively regardless of their circumstances — whether incarcerated, in training, in class, or seeking employment. His expertise and compassion continually serve his audiences well.
Jane Egüez

He also exhibits deep respect for people who face all kinds of challenges, and an enduring commitment to their success in the workforce. We have used his training services many times over the years and the feedback has been excellent.”
Carla Javits
President and CEO, REDF
“Larry Robbin has been a strategic partner to JVS through most of our forty year history. Through staff training, management consulting and program development, Larry has helped JVS develop and run programs that successfully meet the needs of the community and employers. His innovative thinking, deep expertise in workforce development, national perspectives and sensitivity to organizational needs make him a highly valuable and trusted resource.”

“Larry’s support of Civicorps leadership has been priceless. As we have navigated transitions and faced numerous challenges, our consulting meetings with Larry have provided insightful context, grounded perspective, and thoughtful guidance. Larry’s decades of experience as a workforce development guru, all through a lens of DEI, creates space for honest dialogue and creative problem solving. We leave each consulting session and training humbled, inspired, and ready to do what it takes to improve the service we offer to young adults.”
