In 2023, Jobs for the Future (JFF) and NAWB launched the Task Force on Transforming Training and the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL), an initiative of the Workforce Transformation Policy Council (WTPC).
This task force, composed of executives from workforce development boards nationwide, engaged in a series of meetings and interviews to identify how federal policies can better support workforce systems in delivering people-first, equity-centered outcomes.
The principles and recommendations developed by the task force emphasize the strength of the national workforce development system while prioritizing local responsiveness and data-driven strategies.
