SUMMARY: The Employment and Training Administration will host a

    Purpose and Agenda: The conference is designed to give the 
workforce community an opportunity to engage with experts and 
colleagues to broaden their understanding of critical labor issues and 
challenges in the present economy. This conference translates specific 
research, pilot, demonstration, and evaluation efforts into actionable 
strategies that can be used in the workforce system. The conference, 
from a research perspective, builds on the success of the ReEmployment 
Works! Summit and subsequent Regional Recovery and Reemployment Forums.

gain insight into what works and what can be replicated in communities 
across the nation. The conference will feature a combination of plenary 
sessions and workshops, including presentations by ETA leaders.
