MAX ALERT: National Skills Coalition Explores the Imperative of Racial Equity in Workforce Development

September 18, 2019

From the National Skills Coalition:

In a new report, “The Roadmap for Racial Equity: An imperative for workforce adovcates,” National Skills Coalition explores the racial and ethnic disparities in educational attainment andaccess; systemic barriers to equitable workforce training and quality employment; and why advancing equity is an economic and moral imperative.  

The ethnic and racial diversity of the residents of the United States of America is one of the country’s unique strengths; however, Black, Latinx, Pacific Islander, Native, and certain Asian American workers face wide racial inequities in educational attainment, employment, and income. Immigrants, the majority of whom are people of color, face similar inequities in their educational and employment opportunities. The United States has fueled these disparities through decades of intentional, structurally racist policies, including those that have shaped postsecondary education and training.
