Shaping a new ecosystem of support
The past three years have forever changed the way employment support is delivered — from the way states process UI claims, to the way employers find workers, to the way job seekers approach work. Today, states are laying out a new vision to support job seekers and employers. As government’s go-to partner for changing the status quo, we’re uniquely equipped to turn these ideas into reality.

Let’s rethink what’s possible with workforce support
People have reimagined their relationship with work, asserting new control over how and where they do their jobs. Today, if work doesn’t align with their personal goals and values, they’re comfortable not engaging. This creates an interesting dilemma for employers who are finding they need to adapt as well — to create a connection with workers choosing change. We’re tackling this challenge in some innovative ways.
Helping job seekers find the right door
A change in work requires a change in workforce services. After all, government’s “no wrong door” strategy only works if people are actually getting to a door, and many job seekers aren’t. So let’s reach out to them first. We can:
• Help job seekers figure out their options as they reexamine what they want
• Serve as a navigator bridging divides between job seekers, potential employers, and program supports so workers can reimagine where they fit
• Build on the existing workforce ecosystem, helping job seekers utilize what’s already in place and supplementing where needed
Supporting employers as they adapt
With different workers expecting different things today, what approach should employers take? Our services can:
• Help employers adapt their recruiting strategies to identify people aligned with their work culture
• Build a talent pipeline that helps workers reinvent their skillsets, identifies needed talent, and connects employers to that talent
• Equip job seekers for in-demand opportunities that support the change they’ve chosen, factoring in whether their personal goals and values make them the “right fit”
Success story: Virtual employment support for vulnerable populations
Job seekers are often disconnected from even widely available services within their communities. In Maricopa County, Arizona, and Arkansas, we used a strategy of tailored outreach to get people to the right service door and uncover their unmet needs — all while leveraging the expediency and convenience of an increasingly virtual world.
By improving access to essential supports, and better coordinating them, we enabled more than 5,000 UI claimants (AZ) and 15,000 SNAP participants (AR) to get on the right track towards a new or better job.
