Strengthening Communities Through Career Pathways

Description:

Headlines paint a picture of a healthy economy as unemployment rates reach historic lows. But that’s not the full story: the tightening labor market is exacerbating economic and skills gaps, particularly in underserved communities. In response, institutions and employers are partnering and using data to close these gaps by better informing training pathways. New, unexpected healthcare training models are forming to create not only healthier talent pipelines, but also healthier communities.
