This paper provides an analysis of government-supported workforce development programs in the United States and selected states as of the end of 2024. We provide an overview of the topic of workforce development, defining this to include activities and funding mechanisms that aim to increase the skills of workers and help them succeed in the labor market. We focus on policies supporting training outside the established K-12 public education system, traditional four-year college degrees, and professional degrees. We analyze U.S. federal government programs and explore programs and policy strategies in select states. We provide historical background on federal workforce development policy and describe the policy landscape as of the end of 2024. We identify a shift towards a sectoral approach to workforce development catalyzed by large, sector-specific federal investments. Next, we provide tables of select representative federal programs for three categories: target-population-focused, sectoral-focused, and place-based programs. We describe workforce development policies and strategies at the state level in Michigan, Ohio, Texas, South Carolina, California, and New York. We provide implications for employers and workers and offer workforce development policy recommendations. In the appendix, we provide extended tables of federal and state workforce development programs.
