In today's economic climate, employees need an edge to set themselves apart from the competition. Additionally, employers want to enhance their current workforce through training and education. The U.S. Congress Joint Economic Conference Addressing Longterm Unemployment After the Great Recession found that "Without strategic investments in worker training, high rates of unemployment and long-term unemployment will persist, resulting in greater outlays for government, a reduction in revenues and slower economic growth."
