To encourage collaboration and to break down silos, the Commerce Department recently launched the Communities that Work Partnership (CTWP) with the Aspen Institute. The CTWP now encompasses regional partnerships in seven communities where cross-sector collaboration is already happening. In addition to providing technical assistance to each partnership, this initiative convenes the selected communities not only to learn from one another, but to develop common practices from their individualized solutions that can be applied and shared across our country. We will then use the lessons learned from these initial efforts to inform and improve workforce efforts nationally and support the creation of new partnerships.
