Community Colleges as Workforce Intermediaries: Community Colleges are becoming increasingly important in workforce development and as resources for helping low-skilled people gain meaningful credentials and careers. Enrollments are up dramatically nationwide and public policy now recognizes postsecondary education, especially community colleges, as a key element for helping people gain the skills to fully participate in the labor market. Many NFWS-supported collaboratives are working with community colleges often as contractors or service providers. How can NFWS collaboratives deepen their work with community colleges?

Lessons from the NFWS Alternative Financing State Policy Advocacy Projects : In summer 2008, NFWS funded three regional funding collaboratives to advocate for and implement new mechanisms for funding workforce partnerships. The Bay Area Workforce Funders Collaborative and the New York City Workforce Innovation Fund worked to implement a Food Stamp Employment and Training fund model, and the Pennsylvania Fund for Workforce Solutions worked to implement a state-level fund financed through assessments on employers linked to the UI system. Representatives from each of these projects will describe the alternative financing mechanisms they implemented and/or advocated for, their projects, successes and challenges they experienced, lessons learned and their next steps.

For stakeholders involved with the NFWS, this data is likely to be most useful when it is treated as simply one window into understanding a regional economy.
