Investing in America’s Workforce
How can workforce development be seen and treated as an investment in our national economy instead of as a social service? Hear from authors from a newly published book on this topic as part of the Federal Reserve System’s Investing in America’s Workforce initiative. Presenters will explore issues, including strategies for investing in undervalued human capital, investing in regional sector partnerships, workforce investments in economic development planning, building the skills for the future of work, and updates to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) question and answers, that enable banks to include workforce development in their CRA strategies.
