AAF Research Finds Current Federal Worker Training Programs Do Not Cater to Economic Demand

Patrick Hefflinger

The American Action Forum (@AAF) released research examining the state of federal worker training programs. The research finds that while worker training is both valuable and necessary, current federal training programs do not effectively provide workers with the skills employers require. These programs must be reformed to help workers adjust to labor market shifts in order to meet current and future economic demand.
