Across the country, community development corporations (CDCs) and
other types of community-based organizations (CBOs) have become
increasingly involved in workforce development, encompassing
recruitment, skill training, placement, mentoring, and crisis
intervention. Workforce Development Networks explains why and how
the need for such customized, networked mediation has become so
acute in America, especially for residents of low income
communities of color, and why conventional approaches continue to
fail. This book explores how labor markets are changingujobs are
being created, but they pay less, and job security is declining, as
is the payoff for experience and seniority. The authors walk the
reader through ten case studies, taken from across the United
States over a period of 5 years. They show how a growing number of
CDCs, CBOs, community colleges, and regional public authorities
have made progress, using the principles of networking and
collaboration. Bennett Harrison and Marcus Weiss conclude with
their recommendations for community-based workforce development
networks.
