Explore a variety of tools that schools have used in creating and working in complex multi-party workforce collaborations.
As higher education works to provide innovative workforce programs for students that meet the needs of employers, workforce collaborations have become more complex. Each collaboration could involve multiple higher education institutions, industry experts, key employers, government entities, labor unions, or community organizations. While there are no prescribed models for these collaborations, there is an array of techniques and tools that schools can use to succeed in these multi-partner collaborations.
Our archived webcast will offer the opportunity to explore a variety of techniques and tools that schools have used in creating and working in complex multi-party workforce collaborations in a variety of industries: transportation, manufacturing, healthcare, and utilities.
This archived webcast is designed for community and technical college administrators who are involved in building workforce education partnerships. This includes deans, directors, program managers, program directors, or other managers who oversee these collaborations. Administrators from four-year schools that are experienced in workforce development partnerships who want to learn more about more complex, multi-party collaborations may also wish to view the session.
