Systems across the country are under increasing pressure to better align education pathways with workforce needs, while serving learners at every stage of life. In this session, NASH will explore the key challenges and opportunities systems face in workforce alignment, including fragmented data, unclear pathways, and the need for stronger coordination across education, workforce, and state agencies. The session will introduce NASH’s TIER initiative as a framework for addressing these challenges and will preview how emerging concepts and Liaison’s Living Profile platform can help systems create more connected, learner-centered experiences through technology. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how strategy, policy, and technology can come together to support workforce outcomes at scale.
