24 Leaders Join Sector Skills Academy
Sector Skills Academy
About the Sector Skills Academy Interest in sector-oriented workforce training is growing dramatically, largely because such approaches hold the potential to improve employment opportunities for low-wage workers, while also supporting business competitiveness.
That potential has prompted a variety of institutions---including community-based organizations, community colleges, labor-management partnerships and business associations---to launch new initiatives.
Several states, such as Pennsylvania, Michigan and Illinois, have developed workforce development systems that are organized around a sectoral approach.
As a result of participating in the Academy, fellows are expected to apply the lessons they learn in ways that enhance their work in their chosen sector.
