Tools for Building Employer-Educator Partnerships
This website introduces employers and educators to the value of partnering, presents best practices and success stories, and provides links to evidence-based tools for building and sustaining partnerships and creating career pathways.
Employer-educator partnerships are an effective strategy for integrating educational instruction and workforce development that benefits employers, today's workers, and workers of tomorrow. By working together, employers and educators can help employers meet their workforce need and ensure that adult education and career and technical education are truly job-driven.
Employer-educator partnerships can:
- Increase foundation skills development within the workplace.
- Foster new skills development and internal job promotion.
- Provide stepping stones for low-wage, entry-level workers to more productive employment.
- Link education/training and workforce development to labor market trends and needs.
