Service-to-Career Pathways Advisory Board

As Governors implement their workforce development policy agendas in the face of labor shortages in nearly every sector of the economy, state and national service programs offer a promising strategy to reduce barriers to workforce participation and meet community and employer needs. To support Governors in advancing their policy goals for service-to-career pathways, the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) has launched a Service-to-Career Pathways Policy Academy to provide grant funding and customized technical assistance to a competitively-selected cohort of six states.   

The Service-to-Career Pathways Advisory Board provides strategic guidance to the NGA Center on the development and delivery of programming and technical assistance to states in advancing service-to-career pathways. The Advisory Board is co-chaired by Utah Governor Spencer Cox and Maryland Governor Wes Moore and comprises a group of executives and stakeholders with a commitment to ensuring that service programs are a key tool for providing youth and young adults with career development opportunities.
