Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey was founded as a research and policy organization devoted to strengthening New Jersey’s and the nation’s workforce during a time of global economic change. The Heldrich Center researches and puts to work strategies that increase worker skills and employability, strengthen the ability of companies to compete, create jobs where they are needed, and improve the quality and performance of the workforce development system. Since 1997, the Heldrich Center has experienced rapid growth, working with federal and state government partners, Fortune 100 companies, and major foundations. The center embodies its slogan “Solutions at Work” by teaming with partners and clients to translate cutting-edge research and analysis into practices and programs that companies, unions, schools, community-based organizations, and government officials can leverage to strengthen the nation’s workforce. The center’s projects are grounded in a core set of research priorities:  \n• Disability Employment  \n• Evaluation, Management, and Employment  \n• Industry, Education, and Employment  \n• Reemployment  \n• Work Trends and Economic Analysis  \nSince its inception, the Heldrich Center has sought to inform employers, union leaders, policymakers, community members, the media, and academic communities about critical workforce and education issues that relate to the emerging global economy. To better understand the public’s attitudes about work, employers, and the government, and improve workplace practices and policy, the Heldrich Center produces the Work Trends surveys on a regular basis (The complete set of reports is available [at](at www.heldrich.rutgers.edu)[ www.heldrich.rutgers.edu](at www.heldrich.rutgers.edu)).
