Getting ready for future employment opportunity: Evidence from ... (The Thomas B. Fordham Institute)

In brief, the research team finds that the seven-county Pittsburgh metro area is decently positioned to capitalize on the anticipated growth of science- and ...

For community leaders working on these types of efforts, this report offers an important grounding in where to start. [longitudinal data system](https://www.education.pa.gov/DataAndReporting/PIMS/Pages/default.aspx) collects only limited information on postsecondary education, does not connect to workforce data, and is difficult to access for both researchers and practitioners. It is also separated from important data collected on outcomes for participants in programs on Pennsylvania’s [Eligible Training Provider List](https://www.pacareerlink.pa.gov/jponline/Common/LandingPage/Provider). Pittsburgh, of course, isn’t the only region struggling to align employer needs with workers’ skills. For the most part, these are state-centered data systems—one entity with a lot of pull; there are Additionally, a large proportion of Pittsburgh’s STF workers are in the health sector, which requires somewhat different skills than what analysts term “technician and production-related” industries, where the most job and wage growth is expected to occur. Some of these changes are easier than others to implement. The first barrier appears to be a legacy of Pittsburgh’s manufacturing past. Suggestions include boosting wages in STF fields, investing in civic amenities and affordable housing (a fairly easy lift for Pittsburgh since its cost of living is relatively low already), and “addressing the racial disparities in public-facing systems (such as health care and lending) to demonstrate the region’s commitment to equity.” Analysts recommend that colleges and career training academies in the region—described as having plenty of potential to train the next generation—create scholarship programs for students and especially for learners of color. Interestingly, remote learning is highly valued by the analysts, even if remote working is seen as less likely in the future. Public information campaigns run by regional authorities explaining and extoling the jobs and their potential benefits could also be part of the solution. Many would like to see technology-focused industries lead such a resurgence, but do they have enough qualified workers?

Skills-Based Employment Can Help To Find “Invisible Workers” (Forbes)

Research has shown that around 70% of organizations are currently suffering from some form of skills shortage. Deloitte argue that taking a skills-based ...

A skills-based approach to recruitment not only promises to be faster and more effective but also fairer as resumes no longer need names, years of experience, or the various other things that may bias our decisions. [MilGears](https://milgears.osd.mil/) platform allows both service members and veterans to capture any skills that are acquired via on-the-job experience, education, or training. This has placed those who haven't been able to get a degree at a clear disadvantage in the labor market as those with credentials are nearly always chosen ahead of them, even if they have more relevant skills to offer. [ Human Capital Trends](https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/focus/human-capital-trends.html) report, consulting firm Deloitte argues that a skills-based approach would help to fill that gap. What’s more, the upward mobility of these people is far less than that of their peers with degrees. The MilGears platform offers an example of how this might emerge. The researchers estimate that around 1 million young people enter the job market each year with just a high school education. It's an approach that Deloitte has helped to spread via the [ OneTen](https://oneten.org/) initiative, which is a coalition formed in 2020 by 37 founding companies to help one million Black individuals advance despite not having a four-year degree. Evidence shows that there are millions of "invisible" workers across the economy that are not being utilized by organizations today. With the Covid pandemic prompting many to leave the workforce, the problem has only become more severe. “So we focus on the non-college population at an early age.

Internal Employment Investigations In France: Courts Set The Rules (Mondaq News Alerts)

The conduct of internal investigations has developed rapidly within French companies in recent years under the impetus of the law of December 9, 2016, ...

If the investigation is entrusted to an external legal advisor, a preliminary list of the people to be interviewed will be agreed with the company in the engagement letter. The investigation report itself should be drafted carefully in the expectation that it may be the subject of critical judicial review. Not necessarily, as the French Supreme Court has held that an investigation report cannot be rejected on the grounds that the investigation was entrusted to the company's human resources department and not to the staff representatives (i.e., the social and economic committee – the CSE). In other words, the fact that only the alleged victims, or even only some of them, were interviewed does not lead to the conclusion that the investigation was incomplete. Last year, the French Supreme Court ruled that the fact that an accused employee did not have access to the elements of the investigation and to the statements collected during it or that he was not interviewed or had the opportunity to confront his accusers was not contrary to the rights of defence or to the adversarial principle. Accordingly, an investigation conducted on an allegation of bullying cannot be dismissed on the grounds that only some of the employees who complained of bullying were interviewed (Cass. The Court ruled that the decision taken by the employer at the end of the investigation and the facts on which it is based can always, if necessary, be examined by the courts on application by the employee concerned. The Court of Appeal held that this article did not allow the undertaking of an internal investigation that had not been brought to the attention of the accused employee. In France, the employer has the power to control and monitor the activity of employees during working hours, but cannot resort to clandestine monitoring means, i.e., one that has not previously been brought to the attention of the employees. In this respect, the French Supreme Court ruled that the absence of or even the delay in undertaking an investigation, after a report of potential moral harassment, is a violation by the employer of its obligation to prevent occupational risks (Cass. However, the overriding obligation on the employer to preserve the health and safety of employees will make the internal investigation necessary in many cases and particularly in situations of moral harassment. an employee who has been elected by the other employees to represent them before the employer), the employer has no legal obligation to implement an investigation and the French Labor Code does not contain any rules regarding the manner in which the investigation is undertaken.
