Michael Bernick's book shows how we can build an effective worker training and retraining system to succeed in this economy.

Barry McCaffrey, director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, 1996–2001 "Mike Bernick's 'Job Training That Gets Results: Ten Principles of Effective Employment Programs' is compelling because the principles flow clearly from three virtues rarely found in one author: an in-depth understanding of the relevant research, practical experience as a program manager, and a refreshing willingness to challenge conventional wisdom." –Steve Crawford, policy director, National Governors Association "The book for employment practitioners and all of us concerned about America's future workforce." –San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom |
