SUMMARY:Training and Hiring Strategies that Lead to Good Jobs for Immigrant Communities and English Language Learners
DESCRIPTION:California is home to nearly 11 million immigrants – accounting for almost 27 percent of the state’s population. Roughly 2.5 million immigrants are undocumented\, meaning less access to social safety net programs\, financial assistance\, and job security.  Throughout the ongoing pandemic\, immigrants\, including English language learners (ELL)\, have been impacted the most – facing systemic barriers that have greatly limited their access to supportive services and opportunities to gain critical skills training. Although there have been some improvements and investments made in the state’s budget\, there is still much work to be done to support immigrants and English language learners. \nJoin Skills for CA to hear from experts in the field who will share more about the unique barriers these communities face and strategies that can increase access to economic mobility in today’s labor market. \nSpeakers:\n\nJoseph Villela\, Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights\nSasha Feldstein\, California Immigrant Policy Center\nMarc Philpart\, PolicyLink/ Alliance for Boys and Men of Color\nZima Creason\, CA EDGE Coalition\nAnna Alvarado\, CA EDGE Coalition

SUMMARY:New Federal Investments in Digital Equity: What Skills Advocates Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 18 months\, National Skills Coalition members have worked hard to educate policymakers on the need to invest in digital skills. Our Digital Equity @ Work campaign has highlighted the importance of holistic digital inclusion investments that help workers not only access the broadband and devices they need\, but also to pursue high-quality upskilling and reskilling opportunities. \nNow it’s time to celebrate an important victory: The infrastructure bill passed by Congress in November 2021 includes historic\, first-of-its-kind funding for digital inclusion\, and it’s in part thanks to the advocacy of our network! States will be receiving $2.75 billion in funding under the Digital Equity Act. In this quick 30-minute webinar\, you’ll learn about the implications of this new legislation for your state\, find out what more needs to be done to achieve digital equity for all workers\, and get your top questions answered. You’ll also get a sneak peek at the next chapter of the federal digital equity conversation — coming at the February 2022 Skills Summit. \nDownload slides.

SUMMARY:Credential Mobility and Transparency: Pathways to Licensure and Employment
DESCRIPTION:The Council of State Governments (CSG) invites you to a webinar to discuss professional licensure\, obstacles to mobility and transparency and solutions for efficient and inclusive credentialing practices. CSG’s Occupational Licensure Project\, funded by the US Department of Labor\, has sought to remove barriers for professional licensure.   \n  \nObtaining a professional license can be confusing. Differences among professional licensing laws across states create barriers for those looking to obtain a license as well as for professionals relocating across state lines. Differences in education\, training and license requirements can be difficult to navigate. During this webinar\, representatives from Credential Engine and the National Skills Coalition will discuss credential transparency and strategies to make the process of obtaining a professional license clear\, efficient and inclusive. \n  \nSpeakers: \nJeannine LaPrad\, National Skills Coalition \nJeff Gran\, Credential Engine

SUMMARY:Upskilling American Workers for Middle Skill Jobs Requires a Strong Foundation
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, April 21\, 2022\, from 11am to 12pm Eastern\, please join AIR for a presentation and discussion focusing on a new policy report from the ETS Center for Research on Human Capital and Education called Buttressing the Middle: A Case for Reskilling and Upskilling America’s Middle-Skill Workers in the 21st Century. This report explores the extent to which technology and automation are changing the nature of work and explains why education and higher-order skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving are becoming increasingly important to meet the level of cognitive demand in middle-skill jobs. The authors argue that these higher-order skills rely upon a strong foundation of literacy and numeracy skills which is often overlooked. \nThis webinar will highlight the report’s findings on: \n\nCurrent U.S. adults’ literacy and numeracy skill levels using data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) and student reading and math skill levels from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)\nThe increasing skill demands for many middle-skill occupations using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ O*NET\n\nPresenters will discuss the need to bridge the divide between the kinds of skills workers need and the skills many currently have. Also presented will be a theory of action designed to improve the literacy\, numeracy and digital skills of adults that will help put them on pathways for future educational and occupational growth. \nRegistrants will be given the opportunity to submit questions during the webinar. \n  \nSpeakers: \nPresenter: Dr. Irwin Kirsch\, Director\, Center for Global Assessment\, ETS \nDiscussant: Mr. Paul Fain\, Journalist\, The Job Newsletter \nModerator: Ms. Amanda Bergson-Shilcock\, Senior Fellow\, National Skills Coalition

SUMMARY:Illinois 2022 WIOA Summit
DESCRIPTION:What do we know about workers’ digital skill needs & how to support them? \nDigital skills are in-demand for jobs across industries. Home health aides need to enter patient information via iPads; retail store workers are using price-change and inventory-control apps; construction workers have to submit work-order changes using mobile apps for blueprint technology; and truck drivers don’t get paid if they can’t navigate their online payroll system correctly. But not all workers are confident in their digital skills — even if they work in jobs that require them. What does the data tell us about workers’ digital skill needs? Get an overview of key data from the national OECD Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) and find out how one Illinois organization is responding to digital skill needs among workforce system staff\, jobseekers\, and adult learners alike. \n  \nSpeakers: \nAmanda Bergson-Shilcock\, National Skills Coalition \nMichael Matos\, Illinois Digital Learning Lab/CCLC
