Community Workforce Agreements (CWAs) are legally binding agreements that align the interests of communities and developments through benchmarks for local hiring, targeted job training programs to historic disparities, and standards for job quality. Best practices for effective CWAs include setting procedures that ensure compliance, defining targeted employment categories, and conducting data collection.
