About Us

Workforce3 One is a new partnership between the US Department of Labor/Employment and Training Administration (ETA), the Center for Employment Security Education and Research (CESER), which is the 501c3 affiliate of the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA), and the National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB). This partnership represents the merging of national, state, and local leadership into one system that is committed to embracing and installing a demand-driven culture in the publicly funded workforce system. A demand-driven culture means preparing workers to take advantage of new and growing job opportunities in high growth/high demand and economically vital industries. To accomplish this, the public workforce system must form partnerships with employers, business and industry; education and training providers; and economic development – the three elements embodied in e3. Workforce3 One seeks to model a focus on high growth/high demand industries and employer partnerships, respond to the demands of employers, and meet the needs of job seekers. Workforce3 One offers performance support tools, products, and resources that help to:

  • Build awareness of the "demand-driven workforce system" philosophy;

  • Share valuable information about emerging high growth/high-demand and economically vital industries; and

  • Build the capacity of a demand-driven workforce system.

Workforce3 One is driven, in large measure, by the building of an invested community of system stakeholders who share best practices and model demand-driven strategies at work.
