On the Job Training is Back!

With the shift to Individual Training Accounts and during times of lower unemployment, employer-training subsidies became less needed, and some state and local workforce systems abandoned OJT. These workforce systems are now re-emphasizing and reinvigorating the OJT option to supplement classroom-training options. Systems are now positioning to respond to the rapidly emerging demand for “earn and learn” training strategies as a key component of job creation in a recession and as a route to recovery. (more...)

Preparing the Nation's Workforce for Health Information Technology, aka Electronic Medical Records

The $20 billion in health information technology (HIT) stimulus funding, provided through ARRA to incentivize physician adoption of electronic health records (EHR), will create unprecedented demand for EHR systems in hundreds of thousands of healthcare providers. Meeting this demand, especially incumbent training, is a complex process, requiring expertise in a variety of highly specialized occupations. The Department of Health and Human Services and DOL has allocated over $750 million to ensure a qualified workforce will be prepared to transform 90% of all healthcare providers by 2014—a monumental change in the healthcare work process, impacting 16% of our total economy.

  Larry Robbin Employment Success With the Dislocated Worker Professional!

Managers, white collar professionals, CEOs and many other types of high-level professionals are coming into the public workforce system in high numbers that have never been seen before in public workforce development. Most programs are not prepared to serve this demographic group and the challenges they bring with them. These people are frequently in serious denial about their future in the workforce which makes them very difficult to serve. Companies have flattened out and eliminated their positions, but they can’t accept the notion of starting over in different careers and at lower salaries. (more...)
