An Open Dialogue on the Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act

Wednesday, April 22, 2015  |  1:00 PM - 1:30 PM EDT

During the 2015 NAWB Forum workshop titled “An Open Dialogue on the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act”, professionals representing a cross-section of workforce investment boards from approximately twenty states cross-pollinated their strategies, programs, practices, and ideas on WIOA. Discussion topics focused on strategically aligning workforce development programs, improving business services, and matching placements with high growth occupations and sectors. On this edition of Workforce Central, NAWB CEO and host Ron Painter is joined by Patrick Baker of PKB Consulting and Bruce Stephen, Director of Real-time Labor Intelligence for Monster Government Solutions, to summarize key ideas and information raised during the workshop, provide actionable next steps, and share additional useful resources, including relevant technology.

As a follow up to this show, you are invited to download the report from Monster Government Solutions, “From WIA to WIOA: The Evolution of Workforce Development.”
