Agile, responsive, and equitable job-seeking tools and systems
Data for the American Dream (D4AD) was established to support innovative efforts to help unemployed and underemployed workers and jobseekers improve their job prospects through access to online tools offering current, customizable information about work and training opportunities. Focusing in particular on workers affected by structural racism and economic marginalization, the initiative was piloted in Colorado, Michigan, and New Jersey. D4AD partners gained valuable insights into how to develop timely and actionable resources that address the individual needs of workers and jobseekers. These lessons learned can serve other agencies and organizations seeking to build and strengthen their workforce development systems, training resources, and services to help more people achieve their American Dream.
