Summary
"Growing Fairly provides ten design principles that when applied by local government, business, and social sector leaders will create pathways to economic mobility for more Americans. By profiling exceptional programs, the book shows how regions can more effectively skill their residents. The principles come alive through the voices of people who dedicate themselves to helping others and from the voices of those they assisted in obtaining an upwardly mobile path. The authors demonstrate how officials can architect a labor market development system that by focusing on skilling and support services will change the trajectory for the unemployed and the underemployed."-- Provided by publisher.
