🌟We're thrilled to announce that the WDC has joined the National Skills Coalition’s newly formed WIOA Advisory Council! 🚀 As Congress moves toward reauthorizing the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA), this council will ensure that local leaders and experts shape our nation’s public workforce system. With voices from across 13 states and two tribal nations, including WDC, we'll advocate for a modernized, equitable system that serves all workers, especially those historically underserved in our community. We'll work to break down barriers and enhance access to quality skill training programs, driving true equity in workforce development. ✅🔗 Read more about the council at https://lnkd.in/gdgg_ySF #WorkforceDevelopmentMonth #WIOA #NationalSkillsCoalition #EquityAndResilience #EquityInAction #BuildingFutures #EconomicGrowth #WorkforceMatters #NationalWorkforceDevelopmentMonth #NWDM #WkDevMonth

🗳️👩🏾💼👩🏿🏫🧕🏼 On Women’s Equality Day, we honor the strides made toward gender equity. While the 19th Amendment granted many women the right to vote in 1920, the struggle for voting rights extended much further for women of color. Native American women weren’t recognized as voters until 1924, Chinese American women in 1943, and Japanese and other Asian American women in 1952. African American women, who played a pivotal role in the suffrage movement, were barred from voting until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As we reflect on this history, we reaffirm our commitment to advancing gender equity, and recognize that the fight is far from over. 🔗 Learn more about the ongoing battle for women's equal rights in the workplace at https://lnkd.in/gUNwRBcP #WomensEqualityDay #GenderEquity #VotingRights #EqualityForAll
