The Public Library Association invites you to participate in and spread the word about the Public Libraries: Partners in Workforce Development FREE webinar series.
Each of the six webinars will include library and workforce development industry speakers, representing national and local perspectives. Each session will tackle a different topic related to workforce development and provide practical tools and tips for libraries to plan, deliver, promote, assess, and advocate for these services to advance equitable economic recovery.
PLA is working closely with Libswork, a national library networking group focused on workforce development to showcase public library and partner workforce and career services from around the country.
