Workforce Development Organizations: Resilient through Covid-19 and Essential for Economic Recovery

 

A report by Lina Moe & Angelina Garneva


A joint report with the NYC Employment & Training Coalition provides insight into the struggles and accomplishments of the workforce development sector in the economic landscape of the past year’s job losses, dramatic shifts in patterns of work, and the unequal and disproportionate consequences the pandemic had for the most vulnerable New Yorkers, as well as highlights the various ways workforce organizations have pivoted to and developed new digital infrastructures to continue to train and connect people to employment throughout the pandemic.
