REGIONS

WHY ARE WE HERE?

WHY ARE WE HERE? • To serve two groups: Businesses • Individuals (students/jobseekers) • • To make better use of our resources: Make education and workforce efforts more effective • and efficient Provide our regional employers with a more skilled • and reliable workforce Provide the individuals in our regions with better • access to the career opportunities in their backyards Build a ladder to and path for sustained career • growth/development

WHY ARE WE HERE? • To serve businesses: Develop active partnerships with businesses to • learn from each other Be business-driven, but also help employers see • where they can improve or assist Help business leaders see the value in investing • in their workforce Help employers determine exactly what they • need Help employers see previously over-looked • opportunities (veterans, previously incarcerated, individuals without four-year degrees, at-risk youth, etc.)

WHY ARE WE HERE? • To serve students/jobseekers: Provide opportunities that are currently unavailable • Provide exposure to previously unconsidered • opportunities Simplify the process of career development • Assist with overcoming crippling systemic barriers • De-risk the process of skill attainment for low • income individuals

WHAT MUST WE DO?

WHAT MUST WE DO? • TRULY work together: Work actively with partners to co-serve without • simply asking for money or resources Help each other set realistic goals, while also being • ready to push the boundaries of what has typically been done Important task: myth busting across partners; there • is often more flexibility than partners tend to believe Be willing to include people/voices that you wouldn’t • traditionally include to ensure all perspectives and opinions are considered Do things differently than maybe ever before •

WHAT MUST WE DO? • TRULY work together: Set priorities and divide responsibilities. One group • or partner CANNOT serve all the needs of a sector partnership Actively work to change the culture of your regional • partnership and your individual organizations “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” • These efforts require a paradigm shift and a new • way of viewing the work you do Understand that, as a group, you are uniquely • positioned to be the ONLY people who can make these changes actually happen
