The future present of work is digital.  Workforce programs must be too.

WPTI's Digital Transformation Initiative (DTI) Learning Community is a five-month, team-based, structured learning program that brings together practitioners from multiple organizations to explore issues at the nexus of workforce development and digital technology, including:

how jobs and access to jobs are being redefined, at an exponential rate, by automation and task augmentation;
the impact of digital skills gaps on income inequality and the ability to build pathways out of poverty;
opportunities to bolster the effectiveness and capacity of all facets of workforce program operations and streamline staff workflows by strategically using the right tools.

A Pinkerton Foundation and NYC Administration for Children’s Services-funded program offering mentored internships to young adults aging out of New York City’s foster care system shows real promise for improving these young adults’ career prospects and lives, per a new report released by Workforce Professionals Training Institute (WPTI), a leading New York City-based workforce development intermediary that strengthens the city’s workforce development system by providing training and professional development services to job training and education professionals, capacity building and consulting services to workforce development programs and organizations, and systems building support to the citywide workforce ecosystem.
