WIN INDUSTRY APPROACH

We can’t afford to stay in our lanes.

“Regional partnerships of business leaders within one industry, who work together with public partners from economic development, workforce development, education and training, and other community organizations, to address the shared workforce and broader competitiveness needs of their industry.”
—Next Generation Sector Partnerships

ADAPTIVE & RESPONSIVE APPROACH:
  • Collaborative & engaged

  • Common points of accountability

  • United missions, funding streams, performance metrics, etc.

  • Everyone hears same call-to-action: more, better, stronger partnerships with industry

  • Continue significant groundwork already laid from employer input on hiring needs, skills, and credentials (including employer and industry surveys and convenings) as well as work to align existing curricula to industry standards.

  • Employers will designate representatives to serve on
    the WIN Industry Teams, which will meet at least quarterly to continue these conversations already underway formalize project design launch, evaluation, refinement, and improvement.

  • WIN’s recruitment strategy involves many area organizations, including the local workforce board, WIOA training affiliate, and Workforce Connection offices; participating job training centers and higher education; community nonprofits; and community-based treatment centers.

  • Employers are a crucial part of recruitment, developing an aligned outreach strategy via the Industry Teams, and working with the Backbone organizations and staff, including the Work-Based Learning Coordinator, Clinical Coordinator, and Project Navigators to communicate skills needs and job demand.

OVERCOME HURDLES:
  • Employer fatigue (or some missed altogether)

  • No critical mass of employers = no integrity in
how training programs are developed

  • Jobseekers don’t get the right education at the right time

  • Undersupply the labor market = companies
 leave

  • Over-saturated labor market = people don’t
 get jobs + wage depression
