It helps to know which of these you are, but none of it is required — a sentence about what is not connecting where you are is enough to start.
A community or institution
Colleges, workforce and economic development organizations, chambers, and community partners. Start with the assessment conversation — what already exists where you are, and where it is not connecting.
What a partnership includesAn employer
If you have work worth doing and no idea how to scope it into something a learner could take on, that is the normal starting position and it is the part we do.
How an opportunity gets builtA learner, or someone who works with them
Opportunities run through local education and workforce partners in each community. Tell us where you are and we will point you at whoever is closest.
What we have learned so farBefore you write, you can look
The working prototype shows what the coordination looks like from all five sides — learner, employer, college, workforce board, and the administrator watching where placements stall. It runs on invented organizations and says so on every screen.
