As one of over twenty philanthropic supporters, subject matter experts, practitioners, and industry leaders, World Education has signed on as a supporter of the National Governors Association Workforce Innovation Network (NGA WIN) to assist Governors and state leaders in their workforce innovation efforts through future grants and technical assistance. Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Hawai'i, Illinois, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, and Washington are among the first grant recipients focused on assisting in supporting the development of the skills job seekers need in order to get into the workforce.
Following newly acquired partnerships with Intel, Microsoft, and Western Governors University, NGA WIN will announce a second round of Workforce Innovation Fund grant-making later this year and continue to provide support to current grantees in partnership with new service providers. A future request for proposals will focus on ensuring that every adult has the digital skills they need to learn, work, and thrive in the modern economy. |
