(Pasted, verbatim, from Ronald L. Jacobs' pdf document "Understanding Workforce Development: Definition, Conceptual Boundaries, and Future Perspectives")

The following list illustrates examples of workforce development programs that have relatively defined outcomes and which link to broader societal expectations:

  • Schools delivering adult education, basic skills training, or high school equivalency programs;
  • Schools delivering vocational education programs for youth.
  • Labor unions conducting dislocated worker training and apprenticeship programs;
  • State-sponsored one-stop centers connecting individuals with job search training and skills training;
  • Intermediary organizations, such as the Chamber of Commerce, becoming involved in school- to-work partnerships.
  • Organizations offering employee development, career development, and organization development programs.
