Autumn in Action continues next month with From WIOA's Perspective: A Registered Apprenticeship Potpourri. As a precursor to National Apprenticeship Week, we are hosting an exciting, information-packed webinar on Wednesday, Nov. 7, featuring highlights of the WIOA-Registered Apprenticeship (RA) connection, including WIOA funding “buckets,” ETPL requirements, contracting to support RA, working with cohorts, performance on the Credential Attainment Rate, and more. Each of the topics covered will be linked to a resource available through the free, online Registered Apprenticeship Academy. Start your engines! Our speaker, Maria Remboulis Brady, is a Multi-State Navigator in the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship, where she works with State Apprenticeship Agencies to expand Registered Apprenticeship (RA) programs and opportunities. She is also a national expert on WIOA as it pertains to RA, including federal policy on the Eligible Training Provider List, and TEGL 8-19, Change 1. This event is open to everyone.

Registration is now open for Workforce Advocacy Day! Join workforce development leaders from across the nation to tell the story of workforce development in your community and let Congress know how they can support your vital work. The event begins immediately following #NAWBForum25 on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, with a briefing on the key legislative issues facing workforce boards, and the messages that resonate most with members of Congress. Participants will then divide into state delegations to hone and coordinate messages. Day two will be spent in meetings on Capitol Hill—arranged by NAWB—with members of Congress and/or their staff. No previous advocacy experience is necessary. NAWB will provide online advocacy training and support in advance of the event and will provide all the materials needed. We hope you will join us for this event to educate Congress on the vital role played by workforce boards in serving their constituents. Space is limited.

Joining the digital transformation is a crucial strategy to ensure your community remains competitive and resilient in the rapidly changing market. Over the past two years, the National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB) has searched for the right intersection of skills, assessments, and Learning and Employment Records (LERs) to improve the success of workforce development boards. Together with partners in the workforce ecosystem, we have been researching the paradigm shift of Skills-Based Hiring & Advancement (SBHA) and Learning & Employment Records (LER). The transformation is being documented and we are excited to share with you our new resource, Workforce Development Board Readiness: Embracing Skills-Based Hiring & Advancement and Learning & Employment Records. This publication contains vital information and suggestions to reimagine your workforce approach. Every workforce development board has a responsibility to its community to explore promising ideas and innovations. By convening the conversation and collaborating with area employers, you can make a difference. It is critical to be informed, explore the possibilities, and pressure-test the strategies with your ecosystem. https://lnkd.in/e4W2-7-f #workforce #LER #SBHA #skillsbasedhiring #workforcedevelopment #workforcematters
