Join us for “Just the Facts: America's Talent Strategy: Building the Workforce for the Golden Age Webinar”, a webinar that breaks down two major federal developments shaping the workforce. We’ll review the Departments of Labor, Commerce, and Education’s new joint report, America’s Talent Strategy: Building the Workforce for the Golden Age, which outlines five pillars for reform, including industry-driven training, worker mobility, system integration, accountability, and innovation. We’ll also examine the Trump Administration’s FY 2026 budget request, which proposes steep cuts to workforce and education programs and consolidates multiple DOL initiatives into the new “Make America Skilled Again” grant stream. This fact-focused session will help participants understand the alignment between long-term strategy and near-term funding shifts, and what these changes could mean for workforce and education stakeholders.
