JFF, New Profit, and XPRIZE presents a virtual event to learn more about the U.S. workforce system and the Future of Work Grand Challenge.The COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating new market realities and prompting America’s public workforce system to adapt and expand its role in preparing people with learning and work opportunities. Workforce boards in particular offer excellent opportunities for identifying promising solutions to train and place workers in higher-wage jobs. In many ways, workforce boards have long been America’s best-kept “secret” in this effort, but no longer.
Through the Future of Work Grand Challenge, entrepreneurs have the opportunity to collaborate with workforce boards and American Job Centers to develop learning and workforce solutions that meet the immediate needs of workers and businesses—at scale.
