The Working for America Institute (WAI) is a non-profit organization that is an allied organization of the AFL–CIO. It develops workforce development programming, particularly registered apprenticeships, in partnership with unions, employers, the workforce system, and community organizations to create, expand and retain high quality jobs.
It was established in 1968 as the Human Resources Development Institute (HRDI) affiliated with the AFL–CIO. The AFL–CIO changed its name, structure and goals in 1998 as part of a large AFL–CIO restructuring.
WAI receives financial support from the federal government, private foundations and the AFL–CIO.
