 Talent Call to Action
JPMorgan Chase: New Skills at Work
The 2015 Call to Action for Talent

20
2015 New Skills at Work Recommendations
1. Increase public awareness of middle skill job opportunities
2. Invest in comprehensive student supports that help more low-income
students persist in and complete middle skill training
3. Strengthen the “first rung” of career pathway programming so that more
low-income, low-skilled adults can effectively prepare for and earn middle
skill credentials
4. Develop stronger connections between workforce development resources
and the region’s high-need communities and populations
5. Promote employer leadership in developing career pathways and expanding
sector-based strategies.
