Promoting Texas Workforce Development Resources with TSLAC through Libraries and Partner Organizations.

This project with the Library Development and Networking Division of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission was a two-part initiative: to gather data through interviews and research and then create a central hub to host this information for public accessibility to make more visible workforce resources to libraries, partner organizations, and the public on TSLAC's website. Over the course of the project, I conducted interviews with community leaders from different libraries in Texas and the Texas Workforce Commission, helped collect and organize information on events and resources from organizations within the state, and designed the blueprints and policies for running, updating, and retaining the upcoming webpage to be built and hosted by TSLAC's agency. In conducting this project, TSLAC and I hope to spread awareness of the library's role in workforce development, connect community members (entrepreneurs, youths looking for jobs, and beyond) with their local libraries for assistance, and highlight resources, leaders, and organizations that can help through TSLAC's webpage.
