Successful Partnerships

At last week's Texas Workforce Solutions conference co-hosted by the Texas Workforce Commission and the International Association of Workforce Professionals (IAWP), Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training Jane Oates had a simple message. She wanted the 1,400 attendees to know that accelerating training programs and helping get America back to work requires innovation and strong partnerships between the workforce system, employers and educators. During her keynote address, Oates shared success stories about states leveraging the national network of American Job Centers, local and regional partnerships, and federal resources to develop customized technical skills training to meet the needs of local employers and workers.
