People across the United States are experiencing unparalleled unemployment.
The COVID-19 pandemic has overwhelmed workforce agencies, crashing legacy systems and straining budgets.
Government agencies struggle to understand the skill-set and training needs of their workforce.
Duplicative or ineffective employment and training services lead to wasteful administrative costs arising.
Businesses and economies are hindered by a supply shortage of labor that qualifies for middle-skills employment (positions that need more training than high school but less than a 4-year degree).
