Workforce
Leaders Convene in
Philadelphia
Hundreds of the nation’s
top workforce
development leaders met
in Philadelphia for
ACT’s Workforce 2010
Conference to discuss
some of the most
pressing issues facing
the country and its
economic health.
Keynote speakers
included Andy Levin,
Chief Workforce Officer
for the State of
Michigan and Martin
Scaglione, President of
ACT’s Workforce
Development Division.
Topics centered
on preparing our
nation’s workforce for
careers and the
respective roles of
state government, WIA,
community colleges, and
secondary education.
It
is clear that the
National Career
Readiness Certificate
and its supporting
skills development
tools, KeyTrain and
Career Ready 101, play
an important role in the
national movement to
create, document, and
maintain a skilled
workforce.
Sessions
throughout the three-day
conference demonstrated
the importance of these
foundational
skill-building tools in
closing the nation’s
skills gap and in
preparing our future
workforce for careers
that will provide
livable wages and will
sustain the US economy.
