Each year, CCW has implemented new diverse and innovative strategies and initiatives to strengthen existing and to grow new partnerships between employers and community colleges, as well as many diverse government, community, education and foundation stakeholders.
These initiatives aim to connect faculty and students to key employers in targeted industries; to improve access to jobs and work-based learning opportunities for career education students; to ensure faculty have their finger on the pulse of employer priorities and our regional economy; to ensure career education curricula is aligned with regional economic demand; and to identify the skills, knowledge and abilities that employers expect of students to be competitive for living wage jobs and careers.
