The America’s Promise grants provided funding to develop and expand regional sectoral partnerships among employers, economic development agencies, workforce investment systems, and education and training providers to build a pipeline of skilled American workers in high-demand industries experiencing domestic labor shortages. Grantees, through the support of their established partnerships, offered education and job training to unemployed, underemployed, and incumbent workers that addressed the immediate needs of the regional labor market. This webinar will present findings from the America’s Promise Job-Driven Grant implementation and impact evaluations, highlighting the positive effects of the program on participant employment and earnings. We will also discuss program implementation features and how they likely contributed to the program’s success.
