Title
Workforce New York - Promising Practices
Description
For the State's businesses, success is largely dependent on the quality and skills of their employees. With technology and markets changing virtually overnight, jobseekers who arrive unprepared for a high-performance workplace or fall behind the skills curve face an uncertain future.
New York State needs a seamless education and training system. The current workforce development system is struggling to provide workers with the skills required for today's workplace, which presents a serious problem for employers. The efficiency of the existing system-comprised of education, job training, vocational education, worker retraining, and other entities - is challenged by programs that are separately funded and operated, each with its own goals, standards, programming, and procedures.
In addition, State policy has traditionally focused on the supply side - the skills of workers - and has largely ignored the demand side, or what it takes for businesses to thrive, grow, and create jobs. Linkages with economic development have been sporadic or nonexistent, even though successful businesses benefit not just the economy, but also workers through greater opportunity, increased wages, and a higher standard of living.
