The document summarizes key aspects of local job creation strategies discussed at a 2014 OECD workshop. It describes how some Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) in the US have leveraged the flexibility under the Workforce Investment Act to better align workforce programs with economic development, integrate services across organizations, target services to specific groups, and make data-driven decisions. Examples are provided of WIB partnerships in California and Michigan that have boosted skills training, business services, and coordination across education and economic development organizations to stimulate local job growth.
COVID-19 has seriously tested the resiliency and sustainability of organisations, especially those in the nonprofit sector. The pandemic has further exacerbated their already precarious state and many Civil society organisations (CSOs) are under immense pressure to operate, survive, and thrive, while maintaining independence and continually generating funds to pursue planned operations and command strong recognition and influence.
They have been forced to adapt or to abandon the game, to face adversity through innovation or to fail while trying. Organisational and individual preparedness to manage change was tested also and many had to unlearn and relearn, to find new ways of working and developing resilience amidst the pandemic.
Since financing is a key pillar of organizational sustainability, I was invited to strengthen participants understanding, knowledge and practice in mobilizing resources more creatively. Aside the traditional channel of funding, there are 12 proven models of mobilizing resources for any civil society organisations in Africa, no matter its size, staff or strength.
In the failure of the formal accountability channels, social accountability is slowly becoming an effective response to governance deficit. Understanding good governance is a prerequisite to understand social accountability. Social Accountability is an approach towards enforcing & building accountability that relies on civic engagement in which citizens participate directly or indirectly in demanding accountability from service providers and public officials.
Accountability is no longer between the state only and citizens. Non state, national and transnational actors are now, heavily involved in all stages of the production of public goods.
The influence of corporate interests in the provision of public goods and services, as well as the entry of several unregulated providers poses a big threat to accountability and inclusion.
The strategies below represent the practical ways in which CSOs have applied the notion of social accountability to the context and issues of concern to their members, constituents and beneficiaries.

Participatory Budgeting
Mobilisation and Networking
Social Audit, Monitoring and Evaluation
Information Communication Technology
Participatory Planning and Decision-making

Corporate governance training for Governing Council Members and SecretariatDr. Gabriel Lubale, PhD.
Corporate governance broadly refers to the mechanisms, relations, and processes by which a corporation is controlled and is directed; involves balancing the many interests of the stakeholders of a corporation or Association.
The Joint Learning Network (JLN) is a key innovation and central part of The Rockefeller Foundation’s efforts to promote universal health coverage (UHC) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) under its Transforming Health Systems (THS) initiative (2009-2017). Launched in 2010, the JLN is a country-led, global learning network that connects practitioners around the globe, in order to advance knowledge and learning about approaches to accelerate country progress toward UHC. The JLN currently includes 27 member countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America that engage in multilateral workshops, country learning exchanges, and virtual dialogues to share experiences and develop tools to support the design and implementation of UHC-oriented reforms. The core vehicles for shared learning and resource development under the JLN are technical initiatives, which are managed by several technical partners and organized around key levers for reaching UHC objectives.

Collaboration between EDA's and WIB's requires a paradigm shift. Traditionally economic development organizations were charged with attracting business -typically industrial firms - while workforce development organizations played a more transactional role of training and job match-making. Their tools, strategies and resources have been vastly different from each other and sometimes even at odds. But that is now changing. Several communities have successfully brought together economic development and workforce development organizations by aligning goals and simultaneously strengthening the economic eco-system.
The driving force behind this convergence is the realization that a talented labor supply is key to the economic prosperity of the community. Site selectors report a talented workers trump all other considerations fro businesses locating to a new area. Similarly a steady stream of talented employees can help retain and expand strong industries and clusters.
Building this pipeline of workers requires input on future needs of companies from economic development as well as input from workforce development on where to find and train the workers for these future opportunities.
This webinar will highlight several regions in the country, urban and rural where they are making this work.

FDI and Superstar Spillovers: Evidence from Firm-to-Firm Transactions
Mary AMITI (FED New York, United States)
Despite competition concerns over the increasing dominance of global corporations, many argue that productivity spillovers from multinationals to domestic firms justify pro-FDI policies. For the first time, we use firm-to-firm transaction data in a developed country to examine the impact of forming a new relationship with a multinational, and find a TFP increase of about 8% three or more years after the event. Sales to other buyers, trade and customer quality also increase. However, we also document that starting to supply other “superstar firms” such as those who heavily export or are very large also increases performance by similar amounts, even if the superstar is a non-multinational. Placebos on starting relationships with smaller firms and novel identification strategies relying solely on demand shocks to superstar firms support a causal interpretation. In addition to productivity spillovers, we document the transmission of “relationship capabilities” and “dating agency” effects as the increase in new buyers is particularly strong within the superstar firm’s existing network. These results suggest an important role for raising productivity through the supply chains of superstar firms regardless of their multinational status.

Mapping location and co-location of industries at the neighborhood level - A...OECD CFE
Mapping location and co-location of industries at the neighborhood level
Alessandro ALASIA, Dennis HUYNH (Statistics Canada)
In Canada, there is limited analysis on industry locations at the neighbourhood level; location and co-location of industries have been assessed primarily at the regional scale which results in an information gap for businesses. Recent evidence suggests that businesses do not just choose a city for their location, they choose specific business districts within a metropolitan area. Recent improvements in the geolocation of business microdata allow to address the information gap. This work, undertaken as part of the Business Data Lab and in collaboration with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, is a first attempt to map industry locations at the neighbourhood level in major metropolitan areas of Canada. Using establishment-level microdata from the Business Register, we apply spatial kernel density estimations to identify neighbourhoods with high employment/revenue density for selected industries (2-digit NAICS) and industry clusters (grouping of 6-digits NAICS). The geographic delineation of business districts within metropolitan areas is the first step in understanding the evolution of industry location and co-location over time, and assessing local business dynamics at the neighbourhood level. Ultimately, these business districts can be analyzed in combination with additional data sources (e.g., mobility and road traffic) to derive further economic insights.

Advancing and democratizing business data in Canada- Patrick Gill & Stephen TappOECD CFE
Democratizing data through innovative data governance and visualizations
Patrick GILL, Stephen TAPP (Chambers of Commerce, Canada)
Small organizations in Canada struggle with accessing and leveraging data on business conditions and trends. These organizations have expressed difficulty in knowing what is available, accessing it and converting this information into actionable insights. To empower small organizations with more business-related information and insights, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has built a suite of free tools that merge and visualize traditional statistics with powerful high-frequency data sets (e.g. payments and mobility). This work is enabled by innovate data governance (e.g. a data trust) and a collaborative partnership with Statistics Canada. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is continuing work with Statistics Canada to release more local business information available through the agency’s Business Register (e.g. the mapping of local business districts), and is exploring how Generative AI can support small organizations’ navigation and understanding of the business information it has curated.

Involvement of rural regions in European research networks

This study investigates the distribution of the European Union's Horizon 2020 funding programme on rural and urban regions between 2014 and 2020 and the resulting urban-rural links. Leveraging the Horizon 2020-database covering the 2014-20 programming period, which encompasses data on approximately 35,000 funded projects involving nearly 180,000 partners, the paper explores the participation of rural firms and organisations in the broader European research framework. By integrating the urban-rural classification of NUTS 3 regions, the research addresses key questions concerning the involvement of rural regions in Horizon 2020 projects, the structural differences in projects with and without rural participation, and the dynamics of urban-rural collaboration in research. The study further aims to identify potential clusters of rural innovation hubs across Europe and assess spatial disparities.

How can the social and solidarity economy help refugees along their journey?OECD CFE
Forcibly displaced people fleeing violent conflict and other forms of persecution find support from the social and solidarity economy (SSE) along their pathways, from their country of origin to asylum protection. The numbers are growing and new OECD work sheds light on how the specific values and characteristics of SSE entities provide high-quality responses to refugee needs and facilitate integration in host communities.
The SSE can support access to rights, empowerment, social and labour market inclusion of refugees. Join this webinar with the UNHCR, SINGA and NESsT Poland to discover how the SSE plays a role in the steps along the way of refugee’s journey.

Effective Local Strategies to Boost Quality Job Creation, Employment and Participation
1. Session I: Effective Local Strategies to
Boost Quality Job Creation, Employment
and Participation
Randall W. Eberts

Workshop on Workforce Development and Local Job Creation:
An International Perspective
18-19 November, 2014
2. Local Job Creation Strategies
• OECD multi-country project goes beyond the traditional supply-side
view of a publicly provided workforce development system
• The project’s innovation is to recognize that the public workforce
system can be a more powerful and effective force in helping to
create jobs by:
– Aligning labor supply-oriented workforce programs with labor demand
– Better coordinating programs and services
– Partnering with key stakeholders to leverage public resources
• For some countries, these concepts may be revolutionary
• For the United States, they have been practiced for some time
– WIA created a governance structure and service-delivery system that
offered the opportunity for the U.S. workforce system to integrate
workforce development and economic development activities and
partner with key stakeholders in local labor markets
• However, practices may be uneven across the decentralized
workforce development system

3. U.S. Study
• The U.S. study illustrates how LWIAs can create
opportunities within the structure of WIA to align,
coordinate, and leverage resources
• The study is by no means an evaluation
• Rather, the common thematic structure of the study and
the 100-item questionnaire provides a objective and
consistent framework with which to compare the
workforce development programs across countries
• The lessons drawn from the study and the
recommendations offered may be useful in understanding
how various factors and circumstances contribute to the
ability of some LWIBs to pursue the concepts of integration,
alignment, and partnerships more than others

Four Attributes of the U.S. Workforce System
that Help Promote Local Job Creation
8. 8
Flexibility and Alignment
• Local workforce investment boards (WIBs) are arguably the heart of the
WIA system
– They administer federal and state labor exchange and job training programs
• WIA is a partnership among the federal, state and local governments
– Local WIBs are not agencies of the federal or state governments but are
extensions of a local government unit—typically a county government
– Local non-profit organizations are often the administrative entity for the WIB
– A fixed-term renewable master contract governs the relationship between the
WIB and the county government
• WIBs are governed by their own board, which by law is comprised
predominantly of business leaders who help design local workforce
strategy and oversee its implementation and administration
• Most federal and state funding flows through WIBs, which subcontract
with other local government agencies and non-government organizations
to provide services
– Most services are delivered through one-stop career centers
– WIA does not allow WIBs to provide services
• This structure allows WIBs to be a catalyst for local collaboration
– Partnerships are the focal point for both vertical and horizontal relationships
among the various partners within the workforce development system

10. Flexibility and Alignment: Examples
10
• In Southeast Michigan LWIBs partner with WIN (Workforce
Intelligence Network), a 9-county consortium that includes 7 LWIBs,
8 community colleges, and numerous economic development
organizations
– Six LWIBs have formed a formal partnership through an MOU that establishes
joint processes that enable the LWIBs to support regional initiatives
• In Sacramento, four LWIBs developed integrated plans for the
broader metro region
– WIB directors meet regularly among themselves and with key leaders from
partnering organizations, such as SACTO (economic development) Valley
Vision (community organizing and minority inclusion) and Los Rios College
District
– Informal partnerships are critical in that region, and strong personal
relationships and trust among partner leaders have held the partnerships
together
11. Integration and Engagement
• Services are integrated through the one-stop service
centers
– Services from 16 mandated programs are delivered through the
centers
– Job search assistance, training, employer services
• Collaboration among providers and coordination of services
• Catalyst for collaboration and formation of partnerships
among economic development organizations and education
institutions
• Engage businesses through
– Participation on Workforce Investment Boards
– As customers of the system
– Through partnerships with economic development and
education institutions
11
12. Business Engagement: Examples
• State of California created a state-wide information system (CalJOBS) and
made it available to all one-stop service center partners so that they can
record contacts made with employers as a method of co-ordinating those
contacts
• NoRTECH employs six full-time staff to continuously call on businesses and
maintains a “business first” system that assists businesses with retention
and expansion efforts
• The Sacramento Training and Response (START) is a partnership of regional
economic development entities, business, education, labor, and
government and provides businesses with a one-stop services.
– To attract a large firm to the Sacramento area, it recruited and trained nearly
4,000 workers within eight months
• Los Rios College District’s Next Skills Institute addresses the soft and
employability skills deficiencies among individuals in the area by providing
certification in employability skills
• Delta College in Michigan is set up to offer “just-in-time” training within
four weeks by hiring qualified trainers from outside the college and
working with business to design the curricula.
12
13. Targeted Services
• Tailor services to meet the specific and varied needs of
individual customers
• Job seekers
– Individualized reemployment plans
– Career pathways
– Sector partnerships to increase employment in in-demand
industries and occupations
– Individual Training Accounts
• Employers
– Match employers with qualified workers
– Customized incumbent worker training
13
14. Targeted Services: Examples
14
• A principle problem affecting people living in poverty in Michigan was a
lack of transportation (with city bus routes under threat and difficulties
obtaining insurance for car ownership), but this was less of a problem in
California which is better served by public transport.
• The Sacremento board in California had a strong focus on helping local
disadvantaged neighbourhoods, with a recent strategy to tackle youth
gang membership: the Sacramento Works CalGRIP Program.
• There were one-stop services embedded in local communities dominated
by particular immigrant and ethnic groups. These are often delivered
through not-for-profit agencies targeted at these communities, which may
lead to problems in terms of isolation from broader networks.
• There appeared to be a general lack of services to help immigrants to
convert their skills to new labour markets, partly because many recent
immigrants are required to already have jobs secured in order to receive
visas.
15. Data and Evidence-Based Decisions
• Accountability of WIA programs based on labor market outcomes of
participants, not on process
• Performance measures use objective administrative data
• Individual outcome and transaction data
– Workforce Investment Act Standardized Record Database (WIASRD)
– Workforce Data Quality Initiative
– Increased use of internet job postings
• Performance goals set at national and state levels
• WIA legislation requires local economic conditions and participant’s
personal characteristics to be considered in negotiating goals
• Regression-adjusted performance goals used on a voluntary basis by states
in recent years
• ETA requires states to include analysis of local labor market conditions in
strategic plans
• WIBs must determine what occupations are in demand for training
referrals
15
16. Data: Examples
• WIN in Michigan delivers real-time, actionable marketplace intelligence to
support better and more efficient solutions for employers by compiling
and analyzing internet job postings
• NoRTECH developed a set of indicators to track their progress, including
developing a ROI procedure
• They also developed a model that estimates the impact of filling job openings
for the region
• SETA depends upon the strong analytical capabilities of SACTO and Los
Rios College’s Centers of Excellence to provide detailed information about
jobs in demand and sectors with future job growth potential
• Updated the occupational content of regional critical occupational clusters
lists, which guides job seekers
– Michigan is developing the Workforce Quality Initiatives, with financial
assistance from the federal government
16
17. Recommendations
1. Reinforce the multi-level and flexible approach to workforce
development, encouraging policy coordination and integration
2. Consider what mechanisms exist to provide staff with training to
build their local labor market capacity to serve clients
3. Performance measures could take into account the variation in
personal characteristics and labor market conditions more
rigorously
4. Continue to collect and share information and data locally about
what works
5. Ensure community colleges are able to achieve the right balance
between responding to businesses and offering diverse curricula
6. Build capacities at the local level with employers on maximizing
effective work organization to better utilize skills
7. Ensure efforts take to serve employers do not displace resources
for the most vulnerable groups
17
18. What’s Next: WIOA
• Emphasizes federal-state-local partnerships
• Places WIBs at the center of the design and delivery of
services
• Places an even greater emphasis on the local WIB as a
catalyst for fostering partnerships with education,
economic development, workforce development entities
and businesses
• Requires educational institutions to provide information on
job prospects of their graduates
• Establishes outcome-based performance measures and
targets, and
• Embeds evidence-based decision making into the
management of the system.
