Intro to Workforce Development System (webinar)
Description
You’re a part of the workforce development system. But what does that mean? Maybe you have a WIOA, CDBG or TANF contract. Or maybe you’re a TJ or bridge program provider. Maybe you have no idea what those acronyms mean, in which case, you’re not alone! Jargon abounds in our field, creating an alphabet soup that can be difficult to decipher, let alone keep up with. The goal of this training is to demystify what the workforce development system actually is: who’s involved, how it operates, the program models used, how it is funded and what its relationship with other social services looks like.
Topics covered include:
- Defining the workforce development system
- Understanding the funding streams and program types that comprise the system
- Identifying who is served by the system
- Learning how the workforce system intersects with other related systems
- Navigating the inherent challenges of the system
Audience:
This course is for all workforce development staff including supervisors, job developers, and case managers.
