SkillWorks is an ambitious effort on the part of philanthropy, government, community organizations, unions, and employers to create a workforce development system.
- Helps low-skill, low-income residents move to family-sustaining jobs
- Helps employers find and retain skilled employees.
SkillWorks engages in three
key systems-change strategies:
Workforce Partnerships:
Industry-sector or occupationally based workforce
intermediaries are the operational approach to achieving
the SkillWorks dual goal.
Strengthening Capacity:
SkillWorks makes organizations that provide workforce
training and education services more effective at helping
their low-income constituents achieve family economic
self-sufficiency.
Public Policy Advocacy:
SkillWorks seeks to institutionalize better ways for
low-income individuals to enter and succeed in the
workforce.
