Co-authored by ArtPlace America and NORC at the University of Chicago this report is one in ArtPlace’s series of cross-sector field scans exploring how arts and cultural practitioners have long been and may increasingly be partners in helping to achieve community development goals. It summarizes insights from the working group dialogue, key trends in the workforce development sector, and six ways that arts and culture can influence workforce development including: Build power and drive policy change; Improve recruiting, hiring, and advancement; Highlight the social determinants of employment; Create regenerative jobs and firms; Connect workers to opportunities; and Build technical and critical skills.
