Workforce Matters

Workforce Matters is a peer network that leverages the collective knowledge, relationships and experience of the funder community on workforce development training to support stronger and smarter philanthropy, employer practices and public policy. A group of foundation leaders agreed to form the network after reviewing a feasibility study prepared by Angel Bermudez and Anna Wadia in June 2009.  The feasibility study found considerable interest among foundations in:

• A venue for discussing research, determining priorities or influencing policy
• Information about metrics and evaluation, green jobs and reaching hard-to-serve populations
• The opportunities presented by the current economic and political situation
