CWA Launches Statewide Workforce Campaign
Educating stakeholders about the value of our mission
CWA has partnered with the National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB) to tailor its Workforce Investment Works campaign specifically for California. The Workforce Investment Works – Working for California campaign is a storytelling website with sophisticated back-end functionality to upload customer testimonials, success stories and workforce innovations, along with capacity-building storytelling toolkits that serve to 1) help California understand the value proposition of workforce-funded programs and services; 2) generate support of workforce
funding through social media; and 3) build the capacity of workforce stakeholders to utilize consistent messages with their local elected officials and the news media, and raise awareness around the repercussions of cutting workforce funding.
This educational platform provides stakeholders of the California workforce investment system with an opportunity to build a business case in support of workforce funding.
