The EARN Maryland Endgame: Systems Change
Examples: A plan that recruits deep into communities because of
its robust collaboration with a CBO or GED program and focuses on job readiness
A plan that maps ways to reach out to the recently unemployed or engages local CTE initiatives
A plan promoting a lasting industry-led partnership that will tackle long-term workforce needs and economic growth opportunities
