WORKFORCE ENGAGEMENT IS BOTH AN ART AND A SCIENCE

The ability to successfully engage underserved and non-traditional populations is contingent upon answering two questions: Is it relevant? Does it resonate?

Workforce Development can be Complicated

Picture
Regional workforce ecosystems include a broad cast of historically disparate entities with siloed resources, and despite an abundance of programs, dollars and good intentions, there's often remains a gap in connectivity, inhibiting the ability to authentically address mobility and engage the most disadvantaged communities.

distinct engagement strategy

Many businesses with living wage job opportunities continue to struggle in attracting and/or retaining workers, undermining their ability to expand and grow.
 
At the same time, disadvantaged communities remain unlocked resources as a viable employment pipeline.
 
Today, simply marketing jobs and wages are not enough. Traditional workforce and education strategies have had little influence in helping disadvantaged communities build meaningful connectivity to these opportunities.

Customized Workforce Engagement Assessment

A Workforce Engagement Assessment provides an initial resource tool on the current-state health and vitality of your local workforce ecosystem. Obtain specific workforce insight and recommendations, based on your unique populations, objectives, priority job sectors, and existing education/training resource intersections to enable more effective connectivity and sustainable outcomes.

Workforce Ecosystem Navigation

Focus your time and energy! Because each workforce ecosystem includes a broad array of unique perspectives, interests and personalities. Prior to launching a workforce development initiative, an often-overlooked effort is to fully explore your organization's needs, desired outcomes, capacity and more, and is the stakeholder network in place in order to achieve those goals?

Workforce Connect Initiatives

Obtain a deeper understanding of the diverse populations within the region to explore the unique motivational and structural barriers, awareness gaps and marketing/communication preferences. This leads to outreach and marketing which will truly resonate connecting people to local education/training programs, in-demand career opportunities. Through workshops, one-on-one sessions or public forums, never assume why individuals are - or aren't - engaging with you.

"Beyond the Walls" Framework

Our Beyond the Walls framework introduces disadvantaged communities to the work of in-demand middle-skills careers, in THEIR own communities. The framework incorporates workforce education and training, marketing, outreach and awareness within a unified and seamless customized engagement strategy. This includes opportunities such as collaborating with industry AND local community-based organizations to expose adult learners to the latest technology, industry trends and career pathways, or even host business-to-business (B2B) incumbent worker professional development sessions.
