Building a Sustainable Workforce
What is a “sustainable workforce”? We believe it means a workforce that survives over economic cycles and changes in skill sets, a workforce that renews itself and is enduring for the future, and a workforce that has good jobs with family-sustaining wages. We also believe that a sustainable workforce will include a major role for “green jobs” in a new and growing “green economy.”

Participants in the 26th Annual Employment, Training & Education Conference will be challenged to think beyond traditional jobs and look towards a new economy with a strong emphasis on clean energy and environmental preservation. It will also provide an opportunity to enhance the current partnerships between local workforce investment boards, state and federal government partners, educators and trainers, business, labor and other workforce development professionals. The conference offers opportunities to exchange ideas, knowledge and experiences to inspire creativity, uncover new approaches, and drive innovation.
