"Employer-School Partnerships: Investing in a Stronger Workforce"
Description: Employer partnerships are essential relationships for any school. For programs to be successful, schools must secure partnerships where employers invest in the programs and students. These partnerships benefit the students and the school, and the employers recognize a Return on Investment (ROI), too. Businesses thrive and are future-prepared when employers embrace their roles in the creation of a diverse, well-educated, and well-trained workforce. These partnerships have three main goals: one, to ensure that their programs contain the skills necessary to make the student the strongest candidate for the job; two, to provide the student with direct paths to employment; and three, to increase the likelihood of student’s success by increasing the student’s social network/capital. Working together we can create talent pipelines that are all that and homegrown, strengthening the fiber of the communities in which we live and work. Participants will receive a handout with best practices for partnership success.
Presenters:
- Odile Dilone, Interim Director of Non Credit Programs, Capital Community College
