Our workforce and education systems need an overhaul. Read JFF's latest policy brief to learn 10 legislative and regulatory strategies for policymakers to help achieve a fully funded, transformed workforce development system: jfflink.org/3xdsC2d #wkdev #HigherEd #qualityjobs
On this #PiDay, I’m celebrating that @jfftweets is among the advocates & Top Level Nerds who make @PIEnetwork strong. Learn more about the power of this Network and all that we can accomplish for students together. Happy #PIEday! bit.ly/PIENetwork2023…
We're glad to see last night's #SOTU address from @POTUS Biden and the #GOPresponse from @SenKatieBritt both call for policy actions to support workers and learners, but what now? Learn more about JFF's policy priorities for #NoDeadEnds this election year: jfflink.org/3T9rLqr
This #SuperTuesday, @jfftweets is launching a new policy campaign called #NoDeadEnds. Please join me in signing the pledge to call for candidates to focus on education and work issues this election season.
This #SuperTuesday, @jfftweets is launching a new policy campaign called #NoDeadEnds. Please join me in signing the pledge to call for candidates to focus on education and work issues this election season.
This #SuperTuesday, JFF is launching #NoDeadEnds, a national campaign to elevate #education and #workforce policies that would eliminate the dead ends that millions of workers and learners face at school, at work, and in life. Learn more and join us: jfflink.org/49X2KFD
Policymakers must invest in programs like #workforcePell. In a new survey from @NICDInstitute, 87% of respondents expressed strong support for expanding #Pell eligibility to cover #workforce training programs, regardless of age or educational background. jfflink.org/3I6QpTu
What will it take for more workers and learners to access quality jobs? @jfftweets delves into a range of policy actions that states should take in these two recent blogs. See jff.org/four-state-and… and jff.org/workers-are-st…
Workers are stuck. How can states fix that? 🤖 Harness + protect the use of #AIatWork 💼 Promote inclusive skills-based + #FairChance hiring 📈 Incentivize in-demand skills à la the #BigBlur 🌎 Build #QualityGreenJobs for a diverse workforce Read the blog: jfflink.org/3RRRd4g
3 things every state should do to break down structural barriers to opportunity ▶ Embrace skills-first and fair chance hiring practices ▶ Position workers to thrive in AI and green jobs ▶ Incentivize education providers to focus on talent development jff.org/workers-are-st…
Proud of our work with the #Colorado Secondary, Postsecondary & Work-based Learning Integration Task Force to outline state policy recs to blur the lines between high school, college and careers—inspired by our #BigBlur vision. Read the release: jfflink.org/3Ra9NmS @codepted
It's been 15 years since Congress truly updated the #HigherEducationAct. A few key reforms to the #HEA could expand foundational, high-quality education-to-career models to meet the needs of #TodaysStudents and the economy. Read our recs: jfflink.org/47KutsK @ASA_Impact
Delaware has already begun building toward new, innovative education-to-career pathways for #TodaysStudents. In the second in our series of state policy case studies, we hone in on 4 efforts in #Delaware that could set the stage for JFF's #BigBlur vision: jfflink.org/49yhFqq

Thank you @NCSLorg for inviting @JoelVargasJFF to the Jobs Summit to introduce legislators to the #BigBlur and to the exemplary policy approaches in Texas and Colorado. Thanks Ryan Franklin w/ @EducateTexas & Misti Ruthven w/ @coloradogov for sharing your work! @jfftweets
Colorado all in on the #BigBlur colorado.gov/governor/news/…
JFF is tracking promising state policies and new bills under consideration that are moving toward erasing the lines between #highschool, #college, and #work. Check our blog to see what pieces of legislation overlap with JFF's vision for the #BigBlur. jfflink.org/3OgAvtX
🇺🇸 #DYK that 70 million people living in the US have criminal records (~1 in 3 adults)? 📈 With 9.9 million open jobs, now is the time for employers and policymakers to "normalize opportunity" for people with records. jff.org/resources/norm… @jfftweets
🧵 Dr. Rebecca Villarreal of @jfftweets kicks things off by framing today's discussion and the opportunities to improve student supports. #PostPathways
On @Hunt_Institute webinar, @Dr_RCV noted restoring #Pellgrant is a good first step for people while incarcerated. Now it's time to extend #finaid to short-term credentials. That way people can acquire work-ready skills just in time for reentry and to enable stackable pathways
On @Hunt_Institute webinar Terrell Blount @FICGN calls for a mindset shift in corrections and colleges: Provide students while incarcerated with paid #WBL. Enable them to connect learning to careers and to earn wages to support families. @jfftweets #NormalizeFairChance
