Description
Target audience: American Jobs Center (AJC) staff, State/Local Workforce Investment Board (WIB) board members and staff, partner agencies that provide services to businesses.
Learn about how regions and states across the U.S. have integrated their business outreach and services with partner agencies to provide a unified business service strategy to businesses. Take advantage of a new integrated business services framework and assessment tool—developed by your peers—that can be used to help advance your own work.
Many communities still struggle with effectively integrating business services across education and workforce and economic development. As a result, we’re still approaching businesses and their talent needs in silos and only reaching a small share of them regionally. Now, however, we have identified a specific set of promising practices that appear to be working.
