AATYC WorkForce Training Consortium Lessons Learned: Mutual Respect and Trust must prevail. (No

“Silo” Competition); Develop camaraderie now. Presidents and Chancellors must support a

multi-college Consortium in writing. Establish Project Management Team of Primary

and Alternate Contacts for decisions. Set Consortium Mission, Objectives, Timelines,

and Outcomes (3-year); Update annually. Identify B & I training needs in your college

Service Area; Consider an Advisory panel(s).

19

AATYC WorkForce Training Consortium Lessons Learned Continued… Each main college gets one vote in person, via

webinar, or by email proxy. An objective Facilitator sets agendas, breaks ties,

recommends options, and represents all colleges with key agencies and officials.

Maintain regular Communications about colleges’ progress, via Monthly webinar & at least Quarterly face-to-face meetings.

The first few meetings should be in person to develop networking relationships and share ideas and build trust. If something is Proprietary to a college, then say so.

20

AATYC WorkForce Training Consortium Lessons Learned Continued…

No college question or concern goes unstated and unanswered for openly fair and quick solutions.

Each college must candidly report all training capabilities and specialties for public record; and note any weaknesses to the Facilitator.

Colleges must define their training resource needs as Got-To-Have and Like-To-Have, with justifications.

All resource and budget items are discussed and planned openly, with consensus determined.

21

AATYC WorkForce Training Consortium Lessons Learned Continued… Common curriculum should be developed and

shared for quality and uniform based Instruction. Every college must Watch Each Other’s Back for

positive image and constructive results. No college should be in this for their own sole

credit or hidden agenda: All Boats Must Float. Be open to accepting additional Partner or

Associate colleges and universities, if perceived to be Value-Added to Collective Success.

22

AATYC WorkForce Training Consortium Lessons Learned Continued…

Stay Student-first and Employer and Stakeholder-second Focused.

Maintain and share anecdotal and quantitative ROI information for sustainability and mutual growth.

Personnel and Equipment decisions should be agreed upon by consensus to meet Local, Regional, and State needs.

Keep a Sense of Humor and Be Flexible.
