Oct. 20, 2020 - The CWDC is excited to announce the October release of the Talent Development Playbook: Partnering for Success. This section focuses on creating strong partnerships to support talent success for businesses, including partnering at a shared table through sector partnerships and opening doors to training and talent with education and workforce partners.
In Colorado, sector partnerships provide a shared table for coordinated strategies aligned with industry demand. These regional, public-private partnerships bring business leaders together within a specific industry to collaborate with public partners in education, economic development, workforce, and community organizations.
Secondary and postsecondary schools also provide a unique opportunity for businesses to identify and grow their own talent. Both secondary and postsecondary schools offer a variety of programs to expose students to career opportunities, allow them to gain relevant experience through work-based learning opportunities, and earn certifications and credentials that can signal to your business that they have what it takes to be successful in your company.
The Talent Development Playbook: Partnering for Success goes into more detail on:
- Partnering at a shared table through sector partnerships
- Opening doors to training and talent with education and workforce partners
- Case studies and business benefits for Colorado communities
The CWDC is hosting a webinar about the Talent Development Playbook: Partnering for Success this Thursday, Oct. 22, as part of Talent Development Thursdays. Join the CWDC at 2 p.m. as we hear from employers about the benefits they’ve received from engaging in sector partnerships and how they’ve effectively worked with K-12, postsecondary, and workforce to address their talent development needs. Register for the Oct. 22 webinar.
New playbook content will be published monthly through the end of the year on the CWDC website and will be accompanied by monthly webinars highlighting the newly released strategies.
