Workforce Development
In an economy driven by innovation and knowledge … in marketplaces engaged in intense competition
and constant renewal … in a world of tremendous opportunities and risks … in a society facing complex
business, political, scientific, technological, health and environmental challenges … and in diverse
workplaces and communities that hinge on collaborative relationships and social networking … the
ingenuity, agility and skills of the American people are crucial to U.S. competitiveness.
