Workforce Development
A company’s workforce development strategy is a problem-focused approach that addresses critical skill-based, industry-specific workforce needs while mitigating training and development expenses through community partnerships.
Employer Services
There are many resources available to employers who wish to set up a structured workforce development program for their employees. Let me help you customize a program that meets your training and development needs and assist with the processes to maximize reimbursement and credit opportunities for the company.
Intermediaries
An apprenticeship intermediary plays a crucial role in the successful implementation of apprenticeship programs within businesses. These organizations or experts work hand in hand with businesses to understand their specific needs and challenges. By identifying skill gaps within the workforce, intermediaries can help design tailored apprenticeship programs that address these gaps effectively. For example, a manufacturing company may partner with an intermediary to develop a program that focuses on technical skills such as machine operation and maintenance, ensuring that their workforce is equipped with the necessary expertise to meet industry standards.
Apprenticeships
Apprenticeship programs offer numerous benefits to employers seeking to recruit and develop a highly skilled workforce. By providing hands-on training and mentorship opportunities, employers can groom employees who possess the specific skills and knowledge needed to propel their businesses forward. This targeted approach to training not only improves productivity and profitability but also directly impacts an employer’s bottom line by ensuring that workers are well-equipped to perform their job responsibilities efficiently and effectively. Moreover, apprenticeship programs create flexible training options that cater to the diverse needs of workers. Additionally, by investing in apprenticeship programs, employers can minimize liability costs associated with inadequate training or workplace accidents.
WIOA
WIOA is landmark legislation that is designed to strengthen and improve our nation’s public workforce system and help get Americans, including youth and those with significant barriers to employment, into high-quality jobs and careers and help employers hire and retain skilled workers.
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law on July 22, 2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy.
