Join the Workforce Futures Initiative Launch February 28th

Join the Workforce Futures Initiative (WFI) steering committee as it presents key themes and findings from the WFI and launches a new public website repository for the initiative’s work, February 28th, from 10-11:30am ET. RSVP here.

The Workforce Futures Initiative (WFI) is a collaboration among the American Enterprise Institute, the Brookings Institution, and the Harvard Kennedy School Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy. The initiative reviews the latest research and evidence on various aspects of the workforce development system to help inform the work of policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels. Since August 2021, the group has provided a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss policy ideas, evaluate evidence, and identify priorities for new research on the future of work and the public workforce system.
