Launched in Fall 2022, the Learn & Work Ecosystem Library collects, curates, and coordinates digital resources to help users understand the nation’s complex ecosystem of education, training, employment, and work. Grounded in a commitment to open access and community stewardship, the Library invites users to suggest new resources and contribute to quality assurance by recommending edits. It was developed in collaboration with researchers from George Washington University’s Program on Skills, Credentials & Workforce Policy. The goal: to create a living, continually updated hub of knowledge—built by the community, for the community.

The Library functions as an information aggregator, organizing a wide array of resources—such as glossary terms, innovation initiatives, special topic reports, organizational profiles, and an archive of key documents and websites—designed to support a diverse set of ecosystem stakeholders. Key features include:

  • Different types of content: Glossary, Key Initiatives, Topic Reports, Organizations, Library Lens reports, Index, Archive
  • Time-stamping to indicate recency of content
  • Digital accessibility compliance for disabled users
  • Content available in multiple languages (12)
  • Search options: key word, filter by stakeholders and types of content, AI chatbot for natural language queries/synthesis
  • "About" section: describes the Why, How, and What around the Library, staff team, national advisory board, commitment to open access (Creative Commons License)
  • "Top 5" monthly searches
  • Links to external websites
  • Newsroom for articles, blogs, reports
  • Graphic depictions (maps) of relationships among searchable artifacts

In addition to its core collection, the Library partners with organizations to develop and host specialized resource collections. Through formal project agreements, the Library can ingest and curate partner-owned materials, organize them within a consistent structure, and maintain them over time. These services ensure high visibility, quality, and long-term value while relieving partners of the burden of ongoing content management.
