Workforce Development

Today, massive shifts are reshaping the future of work worldwide. Globalization, generative artificial intelligence, automation, and the gig economy are driving the need for new skills and adaptability at an unprecedented pace.

In this rapidly evolving landscape, ensuring quality jobs for the workforce demands bold, systems-level change. Industry leaders, policymakers, education and training providers, and jobseekers all play important roles in working together to navigate these new challenges.

Rachel Blum LLC partners with organizations to navigate these changes, drawing on cutting-edge practices and state-of-the-field approaches in workforce development.

Green Jobs

The impacts of climate change and the world’s pursuit of net-zero targets under the Paris Climate Accord are transforming the global economy—and revolutionizing the future of work. As industries pivot toward more circular and low-carbon models, entire value chains are rethinking how they operate. This transformation requires workers to gain new skills, knowledge, and practices. With access to the right skills, networks, and resources, young people can not only participate in the green economy but help drive it forward.

Rachel Blum LLC operates at the intersection of workforce development, youth employment, and the green economy-- partnering with clients to transform their ideas into action through program design, grant writing, research, implementation support, and evaluation.

Inclusive Markets

Every day, we’re learning more about how to effectively improve skills and open doors to good jobs for communities that have long been left behind. Much can be learnt from those who’ve created lasting change on a larger scale.

Bold, systems-level change requires collaboration among diverse stakeholders who share a vision for the future. Rachel Blum LLC brings deep experience in convening these stakeholders to uncover the root causes of economic inequity and address the levers for change across entire systems.
