Workforce Intermediaries and Their Roles in Promoting Advancement

With the series Advancement for Low-Wage Workers, JFF seeks to elevate discussion of this critical issue within and outside the workforce field. These occasional papers address public policy and on-the-ground practice. Workforce Intermediaries and Their Roles in Promoting Advancement explores the origins and core elements of workforce intermediaries, their strategies for advancing workers to family-sustaining careers, and the challenge of securing financing not just to sustain intermediary services but to expand such efforts to a scale that makes a real difference to communities.
