As JFF CEO Maria Flynn explained in POLITICO's weekly education newsletter this morning, “Regardless of which party ultimately controls the White House or Congress or statehouses, voters want elected officials to do better and engineer our education and employment systems so that no American faces a dead end at school or at work or in their lives." On the heels of #JFFHorizons in Washington, D.C., last week, where policymakers from across the aisle joined JFF's Policy & Advocacy team to discuss the need for elected officials and candidates to prioritize the issues that voters actually care about this #electionyear, Flynn spoke to POLITICO's Bianca Quilantan about what it really means to build a unified #education and #workforce development system—one with #NoDeadEnds to economic opportunity.

A perfect storm has led industry to a critical juncture. Unprecedented #infrastructure renewal, evolving #AI potential, and rising interest in addressing both racial outcome disparities and talent shortages now present employers with an opportunity. But to stay ahead, they’ll have to invest in a diverse, multi-skilled workforce. Learn-and-earn pathways for individuals of all ages, genders, and racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds—including those with disabilities and those who are Black, Latine, Native American, multiracial, of Asian descent, or of Pacific Islander descent—allow #employers to tap into a wider pool of talent, foster resilience and adaptability, and ultimately create a company that can not only make it through the storm, but also thrive over the long haul. By equipping individuals with relevant skills, from tech to trades, and fostering an environment where all voices are heard, we unlock innovation, business competitiveness, and individual prosperity. That’s why JFF’s Workforce Transformation Policy Council (WTPC) has developed a new series of workforce policy resources—by workforce leaders, for workforce leaders. If you’re an employer, workforce agency, educator, community-based organization, or just someone who’s interested in using #policy to transform our country’s workforce system, sign up for updates from the WTPC and get all three free, printable policy resources: https://hubs.la/Q02JdS-S0 These resources demonstrate the most important takeaways from the WTPC’s deeper-dive federal #workforce policy recommendations to improve services for diverse populations, transform training, and use data to drive better outcomes. Together, we can reach the workers of today and tomorrow, as well as achieve a double bottom line for businesses, by increasing economic mobility and ensuring that the benefits of that economic mobility are shared far and wide.

The obstacle is the way. That was the refrain we kept coming back to yesterday at Jobs for the Future (JFF)'s Impact Employer Summit in a room full of 100+ leaders for a hands-on day of working through one of the most consequential obstacles of our time – building a world of work in the age of AI that is more human, not less. It will not be easy but it is entirely possible, especially with the room JFF assembled where… ⚫ 8M employees, including 6M frontline workers are employed by leaders in the room ⚫ 50% of leaders are from Fortune 500 companies ⚫ 25% of leaders are from Fortune 100 companies The way forward for us is not a path any one company can go down alone. Our way forward requires partnership and shared commitments around ambitious goals. And it increasingly requires every company to be pro-human – investing and believing more in the power of people that technology will help unleash instead of the other way around. To help us mobilize together, the JFF team just launched a new Impact Employer Model that can help any company take clear steps towards building a more transparent and equitable labor market.
