Rural areas face numerous challenges in building a high-wage,
high-skilled workforce. In response to these obstacles, many
regions have established workforce development networks that
provide stronger linkages between employers, schools, training
institutions and community-based organizations. Gary Paul Green
examines in this book how these networks are organized, why
employers and training institutions participate in them and whether
they are effective. Drawing upon data from training institutions,
employers and other organizations in rural areas, the author takes
a multi-method approach to examining workforce development networks
by combining qualitative and quantitative data, as well as
considering various actors. Collaborative models of training are
found to provide a strong incentive for employers to increase their
investment in job training, reduce the risk and cost of training,
and improve the flow of information in local labor markets. The
author also describes the critical role community-based
organizations play by broadening the available training and
providing stronger ties with employers and workers. He concludes
that workforce development policy needs to recognize the importance
of grassroots organizations in job training and build institutional
support for their activities. The new data and analyses will be of
great interest to academics working in the area of rural and
workforce development. Community and workforce development
practitioners as well as human resource managers will appreciate
the concrete suggestions for policy and practice.
