Description

As the U.S. continues to face high unemployment in the wake of the recent recession, federally funded workforce programs can play an important role in bridging gaps between the skills present in the workforce and the skills needed for available jobs. The WIA sought to strengthen the connection between workforce programs and employers, but that collaboration remains a challenge. With WIA currently awaiting reauthorization, this report reviewed: (1) factors that facilitated innovative collaborations among workforce boards, employers, and others; (2) major challenges to collaboration; and (3) actions the Dept. of Labor has taken to support local collaborative efforts. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find report.
