Workforce Intermediaries: Partnerships for the Future

Economic Development Quarterly, 2003, vol. 17, issue 3, 215-219

Abstract: The United States faces a looming workforce and economic crisis in the decades ahead because of the diminishing supply of skilled labor. Tight labor markets are good for low-skilled, low-income workers, but opportunities will be lost without adequate training and education in place. Lack of adequate debate about federal workforce legislation confirms the general inattention of all levels of government in taking this workforce crisis seriously. This lack of political will is compounded by institutional fragmentation in the workforce field. Employer-driven partnerships, called workforce intermediaries, are demonstrating how workforce progress can be achieved for both businesses and workers. Intermediaries are dual-customer, brokers of services, entrepreneurial, and results driven.
