Federal Reserve: Workforce Crisis Demands Large-Scale Transformation of U.S. Initiatives

Researchers from the Federal Reserve Banks of Kansas City and Atlanta, along with the John J Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University, recently published a comprehensive examination of the state of contemporary workforce initiatives. Editors Carl Van Horn, Tammy Edwards and Todd Green have assembled chapters and case studies from more than 70 authors that depict challenges, long-term structural changes and policy opportunities in national, state and local workforce efforts in the current economy. Of particular interest to the TBED community are King and Prince’s article on scaling sectoral and career pathway programs, an examination of the success of the Wired65 initiative in Kentucky and Indiana, and several articles on building data-driven intelligent workforce systems.
