February 17, 2020 Group Watch: Ainsworth’s Workforce Commission Reports
Alabama Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth’s 21st Century Workforce Commission recently released its findings. The topline recommendation from the report is the creation of a cabinet-level coordinating agency to be called the Governor’s Office of Talent and Workforce Development. The report calls for increased investment in areas highlighted by many of the state’s pre-existing workforce development initiatives; technical education, STEM classes for K-12 students, coordination between government and industry and bringing people back into the workforce through retraining.
