The workforce field has a scale problem — and the way we’ve been chasing scale is making it worse. From what I’ve seen across more than a decade in workforce development, we’ve been investing in individual programs and asking each of them to scale on their own.
Ashley - overjoyed to see you articulating this vision for a solution to the fragmented nature of our system's structure! What we need is - exactly as you say - the connective tissue between programs. My team and I are leading the Pathways AI Project in Washington. The AI Guide tool we're developing uses AI to generate that connective tissue and to optimize program resources for each learner's context. I would love to get your ideas on how this system could extend to better support the employer side as well.
I'm so excited about the work you're leading, Maria! There's so much potential in what you are developing. I'm looking forward to a conversation in a few weeks' time!
