The U.S. Department of Labor Announces the Release of “Nurturing America’s Growth in the Global Marketplace Through Talent Development: An Interim Report on the Evaluation of Generations II and III of WIRED.”
12/30/2009
The U.S. Department of Labor recently announced the release of “Nurturing America’s Growth in the Global Marketplace Through Talent Development: An Interim Report on the Evaluation of Generations II and III of WIRED.” The report, which was written by Public Policy Associates, Inc., in partnership with the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, summarizes the initial findings of a multiyear evaluation of 26 regional initiatives that received grants from the U.S. Department of Labor. The regions were facing challenges from global competition and changing economic conditions. The grants, each of which totaled $5 million over a three year period, were intended to bring together diverse regional organizations to work towards economic stability and workforce growth. This interim report focuses on the development of partnerships, governance arrangements, and the design of decision-making processes.
