Honored to host @NatlGovsAssoc in the house President Franklin Delano Roosevelt once lived in to discuss working together to build a more inclusive workforce & a more equitable future.

"Service does not just change your now, it changes your lens. There is a labor participation and a labor training divide that we have to address. The service year option is helping to address both." @GovWesMoore addressing NGA's Service-to-Career Pathways Action Lab this morning.

[NGA @NatlGovsAssoc]

NGA convened leaders from 10 states in MD last week to explore service as a pathway to economic opportunity. @GovWesMoore joined to share how his service experience shaped his vision for service as a cornerstone of his workforce dev agenda. Learn more: https://t.co/C2lmbGLqXa

I am excited to be helping to staff @NatlGovsAssoc's Policy Academy to Advance Youth Apprenticeship this year. These states have ambitious plans and will serve as great examples for how Governors can offer young people more opportunities while meeting the needs of industry.

It's the spot-on office phone ringtone that puts this over the top.

We need #workers. Immigration sponsorship would give states a dynamic means to attract new residents, both from new applicants from abroad and from current asylum seekers. Working with federal partners will help find solutions to immigration.

This hectic labor market is prompting Govs to give serious thought to the best way to manage the federally funded workforce system. The executive order signed by @GovStitt last month puts this new task force on the clock to deliver recs for reform by April 15.

Honored to announce the members of my Workforce Transformation Taskforce.

These business and state leaders will reimagine our approach to workforce so Oklahoma can keep up with the jobs of tomorrow!
