Accurate and timely information about developments in the learn-and-work ecosystem are essential for those working to improve the ecosystem. Yet information is too often siloed and difficult to access and synthesize. Information is increasingly available only on a subscription (cost) basis at many curated websites in the learn-and-work ecosystem.
The goal of the Learn & Work Ecosystem Library, launched in December 2022, is to make information about the ecosystem easier to find and use. It also will maximize reach for those who require information (historical, recent, and curated) as they work to improve the system.
The Library collects, curates, and coordinates resources around 12 key components (building blocks) of the learn-and-work ecosystem: Alliances & Intermediaries; Career Navigation; Communications & Technology; Credentials & Providers; Data, Databases, Standards (Data Ecosystem); Employers & Workforce; International Developments; Policy; Quality & Value; Research; Transparency; and Verification/Recordkeeping.
There are many types of content and features to support accessibility to the Library's resources:
The Library uses a wiki model to enable continual updating by the community of users. Users may submit wiki forms requesting revisions in content and submissions of new entries.
Curation is assisted by a librarian.
The Library is advised by a 21-member National Advisory Board.
