24. Workforce 2.0
Implications for new policy
Scrap old programs: Move from fixing problems to
“linking and leveraging” assets
We need investments in:
• One Stop infrastructure for skill assessments
and career guidance
• Vouchers for subsidizing training tied to skill
assessments
• Seed investments in productive collaborations
• Applied research on new tool development
and dynamic evaluation
