In the past year, sixteen teams comprising workforce boards, state agencies, labor, employers, and community-based organizations gathered in Washington D.C. for the inaugural Job Quality Academy. This series of strategic planning workshops, hosted by the DOL and crafted by JFF, aimed to assist communities in identifying, prioritizing, and implementing action plans based on job quality principles and strategies. The DOL and JFF will soon unveil "The Job Quality Starter Pack," a resource tailored to aid organizations and coalitions dedicated to advancing job quality. This pack will provide frameworks, tools, and techniques akin to those utilized by participants in the Job Quality Academy. Join DOL, JFF, and Academy alumni in a discussion about their experiences, how they applied these tools in their local contexts, and the actions they are currently undertaking.
