Plus, how the CHIPS Act can yield its maximum potential
We’re back! It’s 2024 and I wanted to share a few things with you that have happened since the last newsletter.
New Research on Reskilling
Last week, we released a paper by CGO Student Fellow Brenden Bodily and CGO’s Senior Research Director Megan Jenkins: “What Works in Reskilling? Evaluating Alternative Education Options.” This is one of those topics that’s both perennial and constantly in need of an update. Brenden and Megan do just that in this paper. They outline the challenges posed to workers in a rapidly changing economy, the latest in the what and how of reskilling efforts, and what policymakers can do about it. Stay tuned for an op-ed on this topic from Brenden and Megan!
