The document argues that current U.S. policy falls short: states and local areas lack adequate support to retrain and upskill, benefits access is difficult, and vulnerable groups experience the greatest harm. It highlights technology adoption and sector shifts after Covid-19, then recommends expanding skills training, creating industry partnerships, and modernizing reemployment to improve mobility and

 \n21 ST CENTURY REEMPLOYMENT  \nACCORD  \nA comprehensive, skills-based reemployment system for the 21st century  \nBY KATIE SPIKER JULY 2020  \nTo respond to current challenges, and prepare for an inclusive economic recovery that addresses prior policy shortcomings and moves all workers and businesses towards success in the 21st century, policymakers need to support changes that create an aligned, comprehensive reemployment accord — a commitment to all workers and all businesses .  \n“  \nCongress has not provided states or local areas adequate support to retrain and upskills workers to respond to structural changes in our workforce Covid-19 will trigger, setting the U.S. up for significant delays in our economic recovery.  \nT  \nhe recent health crisis — and unprecedented, rapid job loss associated with it — has illuminated how unprepared the United States is for helping workers who lose their jobs reskill to prepare for and successfully enter new employment.  \nPolicy responses to the current crisis — while critical — have fallen far short of addressing challenges workers and businesses faced. Millions of workers struggled to access unemployment benefits, even once eligibility was temporarily expanded. Congress has not provided states or local areas adequate support toretrain and upskills workers to respond to structural changes in our workforce the crisis will trigger, setting the U.S. up for significant delays in our economic recovery. And workers of color, those without a high school diploma, and those without basic digital, literacy, and numeracy skills were the hardest hit both by the health and economic impact of the crisis as safety net polices fail to protect those who need support or skills the most.  \nTo respond to current challenges, and prepare for an inclusive economic recovery that addresses prior policy shortcomings and moves all workers and businesses towards success in the 21st century, policymakers need to support changes that create an aligned, comprehensive reemployment accord — a commitment to all workers and all businesses.  \nThe following recommendations are part of National Skills Coalition call for an inclusive economic recovery to the Covid-19 health crisis and its economic impact.  \nA 21ST CENTURY REEMPLOYMENT ACCORD 3  \nStructural shift in the U.S. workforce emphasizes need for — and draws attention to inaccessibility of — reskilling to reenter jobs of the 21st century  \nThe health crisis will create new jobs — in healthcare and transportation, distribution and logistics, information technology, and infrastructure industries — at the same time as it leads to job loss across industries that can automate significant portions of workers’ jobs. Ensuring workers have access to and success in training is important for their economic mobility and is crucial for the U.S. economic recovery and business productivity.  \nBusinesses faced unprecedented challenges in response to Covid-19 and its economic impact. Early in the crisis, the hospitality industry projected 80 percent revenue losses over 20201 and retail sector saw 90-100 percent reduction in revenues during March and April of 2020.2 Even in industries like healthcare, at the forefront of pandemic response, the restriction of elective and non-emergency services during the crisis led to business closures. These closures mean even with economic recovery, workers who lost their jobs in those industries will need to retrain for new jobs in those industries or to enter in-demand occupations in other industries.  \nAnd for businesses that remain open and industries that are in-demand, the crisis creates the opportunity and necessity to adopt technology in the workplace at a more rapid pace that was predicted prior to the crisis.3 Businesses in retail, manufacturing, and healthcare report rapid adoption of technology in response to worker and customer safety concerns around the health pandemic.4 One report from MIT finds that, in direct response to Covid-19, 32-50","cbCaivgjvPC0i2AL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivgjvPC0i2AL","pdf",405415,16,"English","# Overview and context\n## Structural workforce shifts and reskilling needs\n## Challenges faced by workers and businesses during Covid-19\n## Why the current U.S. unemployment system is insufficient\n# Policy recommendations\n## Expand access to skills training via a Dislocation Reskilling Account\n## Build 21st Century Industry Partnerships\n## Modernizing reemployment to serve workers and businesses","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the document target with the 21st Century Reemployment Accord?\",\"answer\":\"It targets the mismatch between structural workforce changes and a disjointed, underfunded reemployment system that does not adequately retrain and upskill workers for new jobs.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the document emphasize skills training during economic recovery?\",\"answer\":\"Because job loss and rapid workplace technology adoption create new roles while workers need training to reenter employment successfully, supporting economic mobility and productivity.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the first two major recommendations in the accord?\",\"answer\":\"Expand access to skills training through a Dislocation Reskilling Account and create a network of “21st Century Industry Partnerships” among businesses, education providers, the workforce system, and community organizations.\"}]","A 21st Century Reemployment Accord - A comprehensive, skills-based reemployment system for the 21st century | PDF",1792055124]
