Project Alum Named to NFWS Top Post

Participants in the Acclerating State Adoption of Sector Strategies project (see About Us for more information) will certainly remember Fred Dedrick.  Dedrick was involved in the project while serving as Deputy Secretary for Workforce Development in Pennsylvania, and was a great source of information and insight on the creation of the Pennsylvania Industry Partnership Program.

Now Dedrick has been named Executive Director of the National Fund for Workforce Solutions.

“The economy is a great motivation for me. People are facing very, very difficult times – so it’s an important motivator to make sure we do the job well,” Dedrick said. “Joining the National Fund is a great opportunity to work with people throughout the country committed to helping low-wage workers build a career. Together with our regional partners we can have a national impact on workforce development strategies.”
