Learning and Leading: Effectively Leveraging Experiences in the Pandemic to Promote Recovery
The public workforce system has an important role to play in supporting job seekers and businesses as state and local economies begin their recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding that role and executing effective strategies for assisting businesses and job seekers is critical.
This webinar series will highlight approaches that state and local workforce agencies can implement to ensure effective service delivery, customer outreach, and business engagement during this vital time. During this kick-off webinar, you will hear from experts on the economy, and how the workforce system has managed during this crisis. In addition, you will hear how states are addressing current challenges to get job seekers back to work, to ensure businesses have the skilled workers they need, and to best position their agencies to navigate workforce changes.
