The recommendations include: (1) Building a strong infrastructure workforce plan; (2) Fostering industry partnerships; (3) Expanding access to skills training programs; (4) Incentivizing and supporting training, hiring, and career advancement opportunities; (5) Providing economic support and breaking down barriers; and (6) Collecting comprehensive data.
