Partnership Framework
This document outlines a strategic framework for building high-quality, employer-driven partnerships. Its purpose is to address high unemployment, underemployment, and workforce development shortages by convening key players including employers, community organizations, training providers, and community colleges. The framework details the intermediary's role in coordinating activities, disseminating information, securing funding, and reporting. The desired outcomes are a qualified pool of employment-ready candidates and increased opportunities for disenfranchised community members, emphasizing the need for clearly defined results, data collection, and effective strategies for success.
