Understanding the importance of Workforce Support
The Problem in our current Labor Market
The existing public workforce system does not perform as well as it could. It trains too few workers, does not always deliver high-quality training, and does not consistently ensure that training leads to a good job.
What is needed by the force?
Better Training
- Servant leadership (“employees first”)
- Relationship-driven approach
- Collaboration and communication
- Openness
- Inclusion and diversity
What is needed to Achieve
improve the efficiency of businesses, and boost productivity in the economy
Increase the share of labor representation on state and local workforce development boards.
Establish a dedicated funding stream to support labor-management workforce intermediaries
Expand opportunities for workers to join together in order to ensure that training leads to good jobs.
