WHAT ARE SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS?
Partnerships of companies from the same industry in a shared labor market region (supported by education, workforce development, economic development & community organizations).
WHAT DO THEY DO?
Tackle common needs of the targeted industry.
Align workforce development, education & economic development efforts to build sustainable, industry-led partnerships that strengthen regional economies.
HOW DO THEY DO IT?
The agenda is driven entirely by business leaders (vs. following requirements of a grant or public program).
Business leaders craft their own solutions (vs. only providing input).
HOW DO WE PROVIDE SUPPORT?
Businesses are supported by a broad-based team of public partners.
We need you!
