The STARs Public Sector Hub is a one-stop shop to equip public sector leaders at the federal, state and local levels with the resources, relationships and know-how to advance skills-based practices in the public sector.
Government leaders are facing labor shortages for their existing roles, while seeing an increasing demand for skilled-workers as a result of historic workforce investment through the Invest in America initiatives passed by Congress.
Policy makers across the country have recognized that the public sector will not be able to meet workforce demands without tapping into the talents of the 70+ million workers Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs). Skills-based practices will be critical to connecting the talent and potential of STARs to public sector opportunities.
