Founded in 1997, the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce
Development is a research and policy organization dedicated to applying the
best research to address the core challenges of New Jersey's and the nation's
workforce. The center's goals are focused on easing the skills crunch, ensuring
that no one who is able to work is left behind in the 21st-century economy,
connecting dislocated workers to lifelong learning and job opportunities,
addressing the career crisis of non-college-bound youth, and ensuring that
workforce and other government programs are managed for results, with
cost-effectiveness and transparency to the taxpayer and customer. The center's
researchers, scholars, and practitioners combine their talents to develop
solutions to put people to work, ensure that workers remain competitive, and
provide employers with qualified and productive workers.
