Many industries are struggling to hire and retain workers, and low labor force participation rates are driving bipartisan urgency on workforce education. So what happens if labor shortages get worse? Tune into this event on Oct. 8 from Lightcast to hear about the looming demographic drought and what it might mean for education and job training, as well as for working learners.

Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) partnered with the Iowa Business Council for a virtual webinar on Work-based Learning (WBL) programs. Learn about the "Top Four" professional proficiencies that schools and businesses can adopt to create and lead successful WBL initiatives.

Do you have Frontline workers? If so, are you giving them the support they need to perform effectively? Mark your calendars for May 1st! #FrontlineWorkers #Training #Learning #Employeedevelopment

This week's #WorkforceDevelopment use case focuses on #IncumbentWorkerTraining (#IWT) programs, which are designed to upskill or retrain current employees to improve their performance and help businesses stay competitive. However, getting businesses to participate is often difficult for workforce boards (WDBs). Standard cohort-based training programs may not offer the specific skills they need, making participation less attractive. That's why EconoVue is proud to support WDBs with a very focused lens into micro-segments of eligible businesses for #CustomizedTrainingCohorts. https://lnkd.in/epikURSQ

Take your time and do it right. As challenges persist for businesses finding qualified external talent for open positions, more and more employers are turning their view within to create programs around expanding and upskilling the talent pool already in-house. Workforce boards offer a variety of support and assistance resources to employers, provided they can make the right connection with the right business at the right time for the right program.

A great panel discussion at University College of Estate Management’s ‘Collaborative Futures: Competence, Capability and Competence’ conference this morning, on how we can transform skills in the sector - how do we balance the need for increasing productivity with the growing workforce shortages and upskilling gaps? #greenskills #workforce #upskilling #newentrants
