Gainful employment and independence are one of the key outcome areas APHSA seeks to impact through a transformed human service system. For low-income people, having a job and staying in the workforce is critical to achieving economic mobility and greater well-being. However, many low-income people do not have equal access to opportunity, and face barriers to full participation in our nation's economy. Human service agencies and their partners play a critical role in supporting access to opportunity, employment, self-sufficiency, and more significant individual capacity for low-income individuals and families.
The APHSA Center for Employment & Economic Well-Being (CEEWB) was established to be a central source of information, resources, discussion and development relating to workforce engagement and gainful employment.
APHSA’s Center for Employment and Economic Well-Being (CEEWB) partners with APHSA members, stakeholders, and partners to:
- Advance best practices, resources, and innovative solutions that will help move low-income individuals into jobs that have sustainable career pathways.
- Leverage the knowledge and resources of public, nonprofit, and private sectors toward these goals.
- Identify and support public policies that provide the opportunities, resources, and flexibility needed to strengthen individuals, families, and communities through successful engagement in the workforce.
