This book explores how labour markets are changing - jobs are being created but they pay less and job security is declining, as is the payoff for experience and seniority. The authors discuss training, private-public partnerships, job searching and community development corporations (CDCs) and community-based organizations (CBOs) as social agents. They also take the reader through numerous case studies, using examples from across the United States. They conclude with their recommendations for better design, promotion and evaluation of community-based workforce development networks.

This dissertation examines the effectiveness of current training programs designed to prepare Federal managers to "govern by network." Filling a gap in the current literature, the study addresses the implications that emerging theories of network governance hold for federal workforce development. Review of the public management literature demonstrates that theories of network governance suggest a fundamental rearticulation of the public manager's role in producing public value - and a new set of competencies reflecting the unique approaches to program execution that network governance requires. The study uses criterion-referenced competency modeling techniques to present a validated competency model and role definition for mid-level Federal managers responsible for governing by network. The project designs a unique method for evaluating the impact of in-service training on development of these competencies and role definition; and presents findings from analysis of existing in-service training designed to prepare mid-level federal managers for 21st century public management.
