Working together we can leverage individual partner experience, networks and resources to meet our local current and future workforce needs.
Engaging with our regional education partners allows us to create, support and expand high-quality career education programs that align with regional priorities and workforce development efforts. Creating career pathways and roadmaps through collaboration across our education systems results in increased enrollments, retention and completion rates improving employment opportunities for students.
Workforce system partnerships are essential to building career education curriculum and programs that address our regional industry and employer needs. Through collaboration, we can identify high-growth and emerging fields and develop programs focused on in-demand skills that prepare our local workforce for living-wage employment and career advancement opportunities.
Connecting with advocacy groups in our region that share our goal of developing a highly-skilled, qualified, diverse workforce for our local economy creates a powerful channel to advance BACCC’s mission. Through partnerships with these organizations, we can influence and advance education and workforce policies and initiatives to drive high-level, impactful program, policy and funding changes that positively impact our stakeholders.
