A Maryland nonprofit’s quest to bridge the gap between job seekers and employers
By Grace Lee | June 30, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed multiple cracks in our society’s infrastructure. And over the past two years, those of us in the nonprofit sector who are committed to workforce development have seen the divide between job seekers and employers grow even wider.
Maryland New Directions has helped motivate men and women in the greater Baltimore area find new career opportunities for nearly 50 years. We serve as the conduit between those looking for work and those needing to hire. But more than two years into this pandemic, for-profit and nonprofit employers alike are struggling to fill empty positions, proving that we still have much work to do.
There’s a dialogue out there that people are less willing to work today than they were before March 2020, but that isn’t our experience. From our perspective, it isn’t people’s willingness to work that has changed; it’s what they are willing to work for.
The landscape of workforce development today poses many challenges, but it also presents many opportunities.
