Letters of Support Employer Engagement Strategies
Alignment between the workforce and education systems has the potential to improve curriculum development, course planning in institutions, and consumer information necessary to improve student, parent, and educator decisions.
The key to good employer engagement is establishing good communications with them .. and that means not just telling them what you have but paying attention to their needs and wants.
Engagement is more than attending annual business advisory committee meetings or providing input regarding curriculum.
Effective engagement requires building deep, sustainable relationships that ensure curriculum design and credentials meet the needs of industry sectors/clusters important to the region, and that students exit institutions able to demonstrate that they have the skills and credentials needed by business.
