Earlier this year, Workforce Matters asked its own members to do some self-reflection on their priorities, practices, and structure, including looking at whether there was racial biases—albeit unintentional—built into the existing funding ecosystem. The result: While the report is intended as a framework for funders—in their words—”to set goals and hold ourselves accountable,” they also realize the conversation would be incomplete without input from others in the workforce development community.
