Mission: The Emerging Workforce Initiative builds the capacity of communities, schools and families to prepare all youth and young adults for the 21st century workforce.
Vision: Teaching the next generation the skills to meet every-changing economic, social and personal challenges is every community's most important responsibility. It is a long-term and complex process that involves young people, parents, educators, employers, and decision makers at every level. When each person is well-prepared, employers find a capable and available workforce, communities have engaged and productive citizens, and individuals hold stable and self-sustaining jobs.
Activities: To achieve its mission, the Initiative:
- Conducts research on education and workforce preparation issues;
- Identifies and promotes effective strategies for preparing young people for work;
- Develops the resources needed to successfully implement these strategies.
