Are you new to the workforce development field? Do you know how to navigate the system, program models, funding streams? Through this training, demystify what the workforce development system actually is: who’s involved, how it operates, the program models used, how it’s funded and what its relationship with other social services looks like.
This 1.5 hour webinar is a great introduction to the workforce development system for program staff, interns or volunteers who are new to working in workforce development.
Registered attendees will receive a recording following the sessions. CJC webinars focus on the presentation of information, with limited polls and limited on-mic engagement from participants.
After attending this training, you will be able to:
Identify commonly used and best practice workforce development program models (e.g. transitional jobs, sector strategies, employment prep & placement, etc.)
Translate workforce development jargon into plain language
Navigate public funding streams that support workforce development
Visualize your “place” in the local workforce system
