Transforming Workforce Training
Arapahoe/Douglas Works! staff Sasha Easton (Workforce Director & Division Manager) and Petra Chavez (Quality Assurance Manager) are members of the Task Force on Transforming Training and the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL). The task force was established by Jobs for the Future (JFF) and the National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB). It was formed to explore how federal policies can better support existing workforce systems to deliver people-first, equity-centered results for all through training.
The task force helped provide recommendations for the 2024 Report “Transforming Training and the Eligible Training Provider List to Serve the U.S. Workforce.” The paper outlines their federal workforce policy recommendations and details actionable ways policymakers can begin to transform workforce training to support future career advancement and growth for learners.
