Worker Empowerment Learning Lab Launches Page to Share Workforce Development Data and Resources

The Worker Empowerment Cabinet has officially launched the Learning Lab webpage, a pivotal resource for Boston's workforce development ecosystem. This webpage serves as a hub for vital information, featuring details about upcoming events, key takeaways from past initiatives, and access to essential labor market data. The Learning Lab's mission is to generate and share knowledge that informs workforce development policy and enhances career access for individuals facing employment barriers. Through a series of in-person and virtual events, the Lab highlights emerging trends and best practices from employers and training providers. Its May 2024 kick-off event underscored the importance of building sectoral partnerships, setting the stage for future discussions.

Upcoming 2025 events will include panels focusing on digital skill development and creating career pathways for opportunity youth. For those interested in these initiatives, more information can be found on the Learning Lab’s event calendar. This resource aims to bridge the gap between job seekers and employers, fostering a more inclusive workforce.
