Investing in America's Workforce
Investing in America's Workforce was a Federal Reserve System initiative in collaboration with the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University, the Ray Marshall Center of the Lyndon B. Johnson School at the University of Texas, and the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research.
A stronger workforce supports a stronger economy. Investing in America's Workforce, a two-and-a-half-year initiative, aimed to further that goal through:
A series of listening sessions and subsequent report and special topic briefs aimed at gathering and analyzing information and ideas from people working at the intersection of training, recruiting, and finance; A national conference where over 300 attendees discussed promising approaches to workforce development; A three-volume book offering research, best practices, and resources from a wide range of respected sources on workforce development; and a training curriculum for Community Reinvestment Act bank examiners regarding qualifying workforce investments under new Interagency Q&A clarifications for the regulation.
