The Ill-Prepared US Workforce

The widening skills gap among new entrants to the workforce makes it clear that everyone involved in employment, education, and the public workforce system must collaborate to effectively prepare workers to be successful on the job. The Ill-Prepared U.S. Workforce: Exploring the Challenges of Employer-Provided Workforce Readiness Training, a new report produced by four leading advocate groups in workforce development: Corporate Voices for Working Families, the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD), The Conference Board, and the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), addresses the deficiencies in workforce readiness and how Americas employment and education infrastructure can tackle this vital issue.
