Why to employers need to be at the table? partners
Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success. Henry Ford
Collaboration Required
• Identify gaps in workforce• Train for Jobs of tomorrow
not of yesterday – industry input
• Internships and apprenticeship placements
• Hiring decisions are tied to job skills – be responsive to employers
• Financial links- payment for training
Examples
One Company’s EARN Conclusions• Benefits
– Increased communication between workforce development and hiring communities
– Training responsive to industry changing needs• Real-time curricula updates from hiring organizations• Business cycle changes are reflected in training priorities
– Industry participation leads to greater hiring– Bipartisan support when programs succeed
• Challenges– Harder to organize – diverse participants and objectives– Harder to manage – new participants don’t understand workforce metrics,
processes, and reporting needs– If not appropriately organized, can leave some groups unserved– Community colleges can be financially hurt hurt if they don’t engage
Dynamic leadership is essential – Proscriptive approaches are unlikely to succeed
