If someone has had significant success working with workforce boards, by all
means we need to hear about it.  I'm talking serious inroads around the
politics - much more than an MOA.  Barbara 'Tondre

Thanks for sharing, Susan.  It seems to me that we should be trying to be
more aware with what is going on with Workforce Boards with an eye to
increasing our opportunities for collaboration and cooperation with their
efforts.  Of course, it should be happening the other way around too, with
workforce boards looking to us for our expertise and collaboration.  I'd be
really interested in any success stories from discussion list members about
their collaborations with workforce boards.  Anyone?

Donna

I wanted to pass this along, in case list members haven't seen it. 

 

The National Association of Workforce Boards (NAWB) has posted several items
about career development and workforce education:

 

-          Call for Papers for Careers Conference 2009

-          U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report Workforce
Development:  Community Colleges and One-Stop Centers Collaborate to Meet
21st Century Workforce Needs

-          Summer Institute on Education & Work (July 28 & 29 at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison Pyle Center)
