 NSF seeks input on workforce development roadmap for the Technology, Innovation and Partnerships Directorate NSF TIP's Workforce Development Roadmap is an actionable agenda to guide future investments to strengthen the American workforce in critical and emerging technologies The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (NSF TIP) recently published a Roadmap for Workforce Development: Building Pathways and Innovations for the Critical and Emerging Technology Workforce (Workforce Development Roadmap) that aims to offer an actionable agenda to invigorate and empower the ambition of all Americans to join the workforce in critical and emerging technology sectors, including artificial intelligence, biotechnology and quantum technology, or related jobs. NSF TIP is seeking community input on the Workforce Development Roadmap. As advances in critical and emerging technologies continue to rapidly expand and traditional industries adopt new technologies, the demand for a skilled or semi-skilled technical workforce is increasing across all economic sectors. Addressing the gap between the demand for, and the availability of, a labor force requires bold investment in workforce development that prepares individuals for higher-skill, higher-paying jobs that enhance economic mobility. The Workforce Development Roadmap lays out an investment framework to address this need through cross-sector collaborations and partnerships, innovative community-specific solutions, and expanded access to experiential learning and other training pathways. NSF seeks input from individuals and organizations across all sectors on the Workforce Development Roadmap. Responses will be accepted until Jan. 15, 2025, in the Workforce Development Roadmap form, by emailing TIPWorkforce@nsf.gov, or by mailing your response to the attention of Mary Crowe, 2415 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22314, USA. Respondents can choose to provide feedback on one or more questions of interest or relevance to them. Each question is voluntary and optional. The response to each question has a 4,000-character limit, including spaces. |
