The National Fund for Workforce Solutions could best be thought of as an enabler of solutions. The foundations, along with the U.S. Department of Labor, that started the National Fund sought to learn how promising practices for preparing workers for careers could be taken to scale nationwide.

To do that, they relied on the creativity and entrepreneurial drive of local funders, employers, community-based organizations, and organized labor nationwide. A new report tells us that the National Fund sites are, indeed, redefining approaches to workforce development.

Practice Webinar: NFWS Collaboratives and Community College Partnerships

Webinar Date: 
November 10, 2009

Community Colleges as Workforce Intermediaries:  Community Colleges are becoming increasingly important in workforce development and as resources for helping low-skilled people gain meaningful credentials and careers. Enrollments are up dramatically nationwide and public policy now recognizes postsecondary education, especially community colleges, as a key element for helping people gain the skills to fully participate in the labor market. Many NFWS-supported collaboratives are working with community colleges often as contractors or service providers.
