Every Day Counts 7: Strategic Workforce Development Toolkit

The Strategic Workforce Development (SWD) Toolkit provides resources and innovative strategies to Engage organizations that are looking to Identify, Train, and Place individuals in the workforce to fill construction jobs that support development of the Nation's highway system.

 

Introductory Statement

Strategic Workforce Development

 

The Strategic Workforce Development (SWD) Toolkit is new and improved with materials to help users fill the construction jobs that support the country’s highway system.

This Toolkit provides helpful workforce development resources in one place. The Highway Construction Workforce Partnership (HCWP) developed these new resources and innovative strategies to transition individuals into transportation careers by using the following three steps:

  1. Identify.
  2. Train.
  3. Place.
  4. Retain.

The SWD Toolkit highlights best practices and success stories from those that have benefited from HCWP. The construction industry, government entities, and other partner organizations may use the provided resources to learn more about establishing an HCWP.

As new materials to IDENTIFY, TRAIN, PLACE and RETAIN individuals become available, we will update the SWD Toolkit to support efforts to place individuals in the transportation field.
