Abstract: In this policy road map, Jobs for the Future (JFF) offers common-sense, field-tested policy solutions that state and federal lawmakers can enact today to begin reengineering education and workforce systems toward the vision and core principles of No Dead Ends. These policy recommendations are organized under four key priority areas: (1) Empower people with data, guidance, and resources that enable them to navigate their work and learning journeys and flourish throughout their lives; (2) Recognize everyone's skills, knowledge, and expertise, regardless of when and where their learning and development experiences occur; (3) Blur the lines between learning and work systems to foster common purpose among educators and employers and to smooth pathways to economic advancement; and (4) Help people get ahead during times of economic uncertainty and personal adversity.
