Workforce Initiatives

NWA plays a key leadership role in workforce development.

Providing expertise and input to federal, state and local elected officials and their business partners; enabling them to make sound funding and policy decisions about the workforce system.

Promoting innovation and excellence in locally based workforce programs through conference, special legislative briefing and training sessions, publications and peer-to-peer exchanges.

Taking the Workforce Development Message to Congress and the Administration.

Insightful workforce practitioners recognize the value of shaping the future, rather than waiting for it to direct them.  NWA gives you that opportunity to be a part of a powerful, growing network.  Our input is actively sought by Members of Congress, officials within the administration and other national policy makers whose resources can help all of us achieve superior performance.

Let NWA Be Your Link to Government Officials.

The NWA staff stays in constant contact with key officials in Congress, the White House, and other federal agencies.  Through USAWorks, NWA is able to face the daunting struggle of dwindling federal resources in Congress.  It is through this powerful legislative arm that you can be assured that workforce concerns are heard by lawmakers in Congress.  We strongly support the mission of USAWorks which is to increase the mount of workforce resources designated for the local level.

Together we can continue to make a difference in the lives of our constituents as they strive for a better life through securing quality employment.  The NWA Board of Directors and committee structure also offer you the opportunity to meet with a nationwide network of workforce developers.
