Why our partners are important to us.

Our Partners are important to us and the workforce system as a whole. Workforce development partnerships bring together multiple perspectives and complementary needs from businesses, education and training providers, workforce organizations, and community resources to support the design, implementation, and sustainability of effective workforce development interventions.  Partnerships provide the opportunity to leverage the respective resources, assets, knowledge, and expertise of diverse organizations around a focused challenge.

Some of our Partnerships can have a large number of members, representing different perspectives and types of organizations, and with varying degrees of commitment to the mission of the partnership.   Some partnerships may seek equal or similar levels of participation.  Others may develop multiple partner categories in order to allow for different levels and degrees of commitment, engagement, and participation.  Noted here are some of those partners and partnerships.
