Goals of the Federal PartnershipGoals of the Federal Partnership
The partnership between ETA and IMLS pursues two main objectives: Sharing data and information (e.g., locations, LMI,
course offerings) between the workforce system and public libraries and
Publicizing and encouraging successful partnerships at the state and local levels.
Both objectives advance the Secretary of Labor’s goal of Good Jobs for Everyone as well as the acquisition of 21st Century skills, a topic of particular focus for IMLS.
