Policy Webinar: New Financing for Workforce Partnerships; Lessons from the NFWS Alternative Financing State Policy Advocacy Projects
Webinar Date:
October 13, 2009
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.
