Hi all,
Have you seen the new U.S. Department of Education's website, Tools for Building Employer-Educator Partnerships? This site provides partnership building tools for employers and educators in response to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and other new reform efforts aimed at workforce education and training grant programs. The "Tools for Building Employer-Educator Partnerships" website is designed to introduce both employers and educators to the value of partnering together; describe best practices and success stories; and disseminate evidence-based tools that contain academic and practical solutions for building partnerships, sustaining collaborations, and creating career pathways. Included on the site are links to reports, briefs, guides, and a variety of toolkits. This site will be continually updated and I encourage you to check out this valuable resource.
Access this site by visiting: http://lincs.ed.gov/employers/ .
