Redundancy to Efficiency
A series of GAO reports have looked at many employment and training programs and found that programmatic redundancy is a common issue. By collocating services such as intake, training, personal skills management, job placement, and aftercare with a non-profit workforce development agencies, we can reduce service fragmentation and improve the program tempo. We believe that partnerships with agencies that provide customized services are key to promoting program efficiency.
We Supply the Best
The demand for workers to fill middle-skill jobs is high, but the supply can't keep up. Middle-skill level jobs are jobs that require some classroom or on-the-job training beyond high school, but less than a four-year college degree. Examples include health technicians and skilled construction jobs such as environmental remediation, specialized construction tasks, hospitality, and retail cultivation.
