by | Apr 29, 2025 | Podcast

Season 6 • Episode 8

Since 2007, DirectEmployers has held an exclusive partnership with the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA) to not only bridge the gap between state workforce agencies and employers seeking top talent, but also to establish the National Labor Exchange, an electronic labor-exchange network that combines DirectEmployers technology with NASWA’s state workforce agency resources. Tune in to this episode of the DE Talk Podcast as we sit down with Scott Sanders, NASWA President & CEO, to discuss this partnership in more detail–including a focus on the NLx Research Hub–and how NASWA’s work helps to further workforce development for the benefit of all.
