In the past year, sixteen teams comprising of 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. In Part 2 of this webinar series, DOL and JFF are now unveiling "The Job Quality Starter Guide," a resource tailored to aid organizations and coalitions dedicated to advancing job quality. This Guide provides frameworks, tools, and techniques akin to those utilized by participants in the Job Quality Academy. Join DOL and JFF as they conduct a deep dive into the tools and how they can be used. The webinar will also feature Academy alumni in a discussion about their experiences, how they applied these tools in their local contexts, and the actions they are currently undertaking. This discussion will also focus on worker voice and how the perspectives of workers and job-seekers are incorporated into these communities’ planning conversations.
