/ Results! Creating a Workforce System That Works for All
As participants in the national WorkAdvance program, Northeast Ohio, along with Tulsa, Oklahoma and two sites in New York, learned first-hand how an aligned, coordinated workforce system can create real results for a community. The five-year pilot program focused on low-skilled job seekers, providing them with a variety of job training and services designed to prepare them for in-demand jobs that offer the opportunity for advancement. Ultimately, the program illustrated that workforce services can be delivered more effectively, causing community leaders to think more holistically about how workforce programs should be executed to create the maximum impact.
