A 21st Century Reemployment Accord: A Comprehensive, Skills-Based Reemployment System for the 21st Century
Spiker, Katie
National Skills Coalition
The recent health crisis -- and unprecedented, rapid job loss associated with it -- has illuminated how unprepared the United States is for helping workers who lose their jobs reskill to prepare for and successfully enter new employment. Policy responses to the current crisis -- while critical -- have fallen far short of addressing challenges workers and businesses faced. To respond to current challenges, and prepare for an inclusive economic recovery that addresses prior policy shortcomings and moves all workers and businesses towards success in the 21st century, policymakers need to support changes that create an aligned, comprehensive reemployment accord -- a commitment to all workers and all businesses. The recommendations in this report are part of National Skills Coalition call for an inclusive economic recovery to the COVID-19 health crisis and its economic impact.
