The Quality Jobs Initiative

In June 2021​

The Collaborative embarked on a process to define what a quality job means for the region.

WHAT IS A QUALITY JOB?

A Quality Jobs Framework was developed in partnership with a cross-section of partners representing business, workers, organized labor, service providers and government agencies that creates the foundation to create and support quality jobs throughout the region.
