The first in a series of policy papers
from the WINs initiative, Everybody WINs emphasizes the need for
employer involvement in the public workforce system. For too many years
the public training system ignored the needs of employers when
developing training programs for disadvantaged individuals. Although
the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 mandated increased involvement
from the business community, obstacles still exist. The report is about
policy innovations that can help disadvantaged workers obtain the
skills required to succeed in today's economy and help employers find
the skilled workers they need.
