Introduction to Communities of PracticeJohn Bostock
The document defines communities of practice as groups that share a passion or concern for something they do and want to improve at it. Communities of practice have three key characteristics - a domain of shared interest that distinguishes members, a community that engages in joint activities and helps each other, and a shared practice developed through sustained interaction. The document discusses how communities of practice relate to different organizations like education, where they can help ground learning in practice and connect students to real-world experience and lifelong learning beyond school.

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) replaces the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 and aims to improve the nation's public workforce system. Key provisions of WIOA include requiring at least 75% of youth funds be spent on out-of-school youth, 20% be spent on work experiences, establishing new performance measures, and selecting youth providers through competitive processes with exceptions for rural areas. States must submit plans describing their strategies for implementing WIOA's vision.

The document provides tips for giving introductions in formal presentations. It recommends using the WISE OWL method: Welcome the audience, Introduce yourself, Say what you'll talk about, Explain why the topic is useful, Outline the structure, discuss What materials you'll use, and Let the audience know when they can ask questions. It offers sample language for each part of the introduction and emphasizes getting the audience's attention at the start through rhetorical questions, stories, or interesting facts.

The full webinar may be seen at www.nereta.org on the training page.
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.

AHMR is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed online journal created to encourage and facilitate the study of all aspects (socio-economic, political, legislative and developmental) of Human Mobility in Africa. Through the publication of original research, policy discussions and evidence research papers AHMR provides a comprehensive forum devoted exclusively to the analysis of contemporaneous trends, migration patterns and some of the most important migration-related issues.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
UN WOD 2024 will take us on a journey of discovery through the ocean's vastness, tapping into the wisdom and expertise of global policy-makers, scientists, managers, thought leaders, and artists to awaken new depths of understanding, compassion, collaboration and commitment for the ocean and all it sustains. The program will expand our perspectives and appreciation for our blue planet, build new foundations for our relationship to the ocean, and ignite a wave of action toward necessary change.
Jennifer Schaus and Associates hosts a complimentary webinar series on The FAR in 2024. Join the webinars on Wednesdays and Fridays at noon, eastern.
