America’s Job Link Alliance (AJLA) is a consortium of publicly funded workforce agencies formed in 2001. AJLA was founded on the belief that we’re better together. The growth of our organization and the success of our products proves this rule. AJLA members share the costs of designing and implementing workforce systems while accommodating each organization’s individual needs. Through the Steering Committee, each subscriber has a valued voice. Each new workforce agency to join the Alliance brings fresh ideas and perspectives that benefit the whole.
Subscription to AJLA–TS products includes AJLA membership at no additional charge. Members are encouraged to nominate representatives to AJLA’s user group, the AJLA Steering Committee, which helps direct the ongoing development of AJLA–TS systems. The Steering Committee provides members with an instant, nationwide network of peers for sharing workforce development strategies and best practices.
The Steering Committee is led by an elected AJLA Executive Committee. Elections are held every other year at the AJLA Annual Conference. The Executive Committee collaborates with AJLA–TS leadership to develop high-level organizational priorities and strategies, including those documented in the Annual AJLA Work Plan.
Professional Development and Information Exchange
The AJLA Steering Committee provides members with an instant, nationwide network of peers for sharing workforce development strategies and best practices. Each product has a sub-committee that hosts monthly conference calls to discuss any issues and to preview new features in the application. The Steering Committee meets face to face two times a year. These events are open to both members and prospective members and provide an affordable opportunity to:
- Network with other professionals in the workforce development community.
- Share knowledge and discuss emerging trends in the field.
- Attend presentations on current issues by subject matter experts including AJLA’s liaisons from NASWA, USDOL/ETA, and USDOL/VETS.
- Learn more about AJLA products.
