Workforce Hubs. The Administration will partner with state and local officials, employers, unions, community colleges, high schools, and other stakeholders to ensure a diverse and skilled workforce can meet the demand for labor driven by these investments, starting with five focus regions beginning this summer: Phoenix, Columbus, Baltimore, Augusta, and Pittsburgh. These efforts will not only strengthen the five cities—they will create models the Administration will work to replicate with partners across the country.
Advanced Manufacturing Workforce Sprint. The Investing in America agenda is creating demand for workers critical to building clean energy technologies, producing semiconductor chips, and driving a manufacturing boom across the country. To help meet that rapidly growing demand, the Administration is launching a new workforce sprint to expand and diversify pathways into good jobs and careers in advanced manufacturing that don’t require a four-year college degree. This national sprint will bring together employers, labor unions, workforce development organizations, and others to develop high-quality education and training standards, portable credentials, and labor-management partnerships to ensure a diverse and robust manufacturing workforce ready to lead America’s manufacturing renaissance.
Good Jobs, Great Cities Academy. The Department of Labor is announcing 16 cities as part of its Good Jobs, Great Cities Academy with the National League of Cities. The Good Jobs, Great Cities Academy will complement the Administration’s Workforce Hubs by providing technical assistance and support to a wide range of cities to launch or scale existing workforce initiatives within their city. These initiatives will build pathways to good jobs aligned with the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda.
The programs will be funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act.
