New Jersey’s Workforce Challenge
The Coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on all New Jersey residents and the economy of our state. Now, more than ever, there is an urgent need to coordinate the workforce preparation efforts of all those separately engaged in this important work into a comprehensive ecosystem to drive economic mobility for its residents and sustained growth of New Jersey’s economy.
The Solution
New Jersey’s Community Colleges and the New Jersey Business and Industry Association are leading an unprecedented collaborative effort of businesses, industry associations, chambers of commerce, labor unions, workforce development boards, state government, community-based organizations, adult literacy training providers, vocational technical school districts, private career schools, and four-year colleges and universities to provide students and workers with the career pathways they need to find new careers and jobs, and to ensure that employers have access to a highly skilled workforce to meet critical labor market needs.
