Comunities and Workforce Development

Edited by Edwin Melendez

in Books from Upjohn Press from W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research

Abstract: This volume reveals how, as a result of policy reforms at the national, state, and local levels, programming by different institutions converged with innovative professional practices to transform the employment services industry. The contributors show how these reforms spurred employment service providers to substantially revamp their operations by promoting the principles of universal access, integration of federal funding streams, devolution of policy to local authorities, and work-first as a starting point for employment services.
