Overview
Civic Innovation is a proactive, systems-level strategy designed to help communities navigate the dual pressures of long-standing economic distress and rapid technological disruption, particularly from generative AI. Rather than reacting after dislocation occurs, the strategy strengthens state and civic capacity to anticipate and respond to economic change — ensuring workers remain connected to stable and meaningful employment in the age of AI.
By accelerating service delivery in the public sector, expanding new models of worker training and career mobility through employer partnerships, and building evidence-based labor market intelligence and tools, Civic Innovation leverages data, technology, and coordinated action to drive employment outcomes for prime-age workers.
