SW Virginia Prepares for Growth with Work Ready Communities

Preparing and promoting a high quality workforce is Southwest Virginia’s ticket to attract jobs and investment to grow our communities. Make plans to attend our kickoff summit August 29th in Abingdon to learn how employers, educators, economic/workforce developers, and other community leaders can join forces for success with the Work Ready Communities (WRC) initiative.

While the ACT National Career Readiness Certificate helps align the skills of students and job seekers with the needs of employers, WRC helps unify community partners to certify local counties and independent cities. The WRC certification shows potential investors that your location is open for business with a qualified workforce.

By participating in ACT’s Work Ready Communities initiative, counties, regions and states are helping:

• Business and industry know exactly what foundational skills they need for a productive workforce - and to easily communicate their needs

• Individuals understand what skills are required by employers - and how to prepare themselves for success

• Policy makers consistently measure the skills gap in a timely manner at the national, state and local levels

• Educators close the skills gap, via tools integrated into career pathways with stackable industry-recognized credentials

• Economic developers use an on-demand reporting tool to market the quality of their workforce

PROJECT UPDATE SUBMITTED BY

GOODWILL INDUSTRIES OF THE VALLEYS 8/16/17

Recruitment – Goodwill staff worked with Carilion New River Valley, Lewis Gale-Montgomery Regional Hospital, and various assisted living facilities to identify existing CNA candidates to assess and enroll into T2C to become Certified Medical Assistants. We identified 11 youth and adults to participate in the program. These individuals have completed the enrollment and assessment process. Because we had two individuals drop out, we are now working with the health care businesses to recruit two additional individuals to upskill from CNA to CMA to enter classes in the fall. Training – Fast Track Health Care is providing the CMA training. 9 individuals began general training in April and began the CMA portion of the training on May 8. Two people have dropped out. One individual left the class due to having to take care of a sick family member. One now needs night hours and we are trying to arrange a night class for this individual. Class participants are completing clinicals this month. We continue to have difficulty getting the night students into a class with the training provider. The class keeps getting postponed while the training provider recruits more students. The night class was supposed to be held in August, but now is postponed until September. Employer Engagement – As a result of the recruitment efforts for the program, we have strengthened relationships with Carilion, Lewis Gale, Med Express, and several assisted living facilities throughout the New River Valley. Enhanced Partnership with New River Community College – We are continuing discussion with New River Community College about expanding CMA training offerings in the New River Valley. These discussions will continue over the summer with the hope of creating a new training lab and CMA courses in the fall.

PATHWAYS TO THE AMERICAN DREAM

NRMR Workforce Development Board

PROGRESS REPORT June 15-August 15, 2017 Phase One: Start up came to a close at the end of June, and we began full implementation July 1. We continue to use ProjectHub® as a project management tool for effective and efficient communications and collaborations both internally with project staff and externally with key partners. We also continue to focus on outreach and networking with businesses and partners. The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) and the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) started to work on the development of the Prior Learning Assessment System with the community colleges, and we are forging a partnership with Lord Fairfax Community College to build from and refine their present online portal. We have had a positive response in WDA 1, WDA 2, and WDA 3 with Mountain Empire CC, Southwest Virginia CC, Wytheville CC, New River CC, Virginia Western CC, and Jefferson School of Health Sciences and have had a number of enrollment events and more scheduled in the near future.

Pathways to the American Dream is not a program but rather a systems-building project with the explicit intent of building a pipeline of skilled workers so reginal businesses can remain competitive and grow. As such, we are intending to enhance workforce development capacity through an education and training system that adapts quickly to the changing needs of businesses. Our goals are (1) to create a regional workforce strategy for sector partnerships in the Manufacturing, Healthcare, and Information Technology industries; (2) increase opportunities for unemployed, underemployed, and incumbent workers to develop their skills and earn credentials in high-demand occupations; (3) guide education and training partners in closing the gap between the skills needed by workers and the skills of the available workforce, expanding the affordability of workforce training and credentialing, and increasing the interest in technician, technologist, and trade-level positions to fill available and emerging jobs; (4) guide education and training partners in developing a system that awards academic credit applicable to the student’s certificate or degree program requirements to students who demonstrate competency through a Prior Learning Assessment system; and (5) provide research and best-practices so Virginia legislators can adopt policies for creating, sustaining, and scaling sector partnerships to generate innovative programming that closes skill gaps and leads to employment in technical and professional level demand occupations.

Jenny Bolte, Project Manager * (540) 838-9400 * Jenny.Bolte@NRMRWIB.org

While we believe that the three key features of an online portal, Prior Learning Assessment system, and training that adapts quickly to the changing needs of businesses will, when brought to fruition, have a positive impact in the region, we think our greatest impact will be in wrangling the “Wild, Wild, West” of credentials and advocating for funding shifts to support higher training dollars for incumbent workers. We must constantly straddle the two worlds of Education and Business, and it takes effort to stay focused on our intended purpose, especially as it pertains to businesses being the driver of the talent-development system in the region. We have learned that we must do our homework on training programs and credentials—specifically whether or not the credential is recognized and valued by businesses. We’ve had to check to ensure that the training provider is accredited to offer the credential, we’ve had to dissect marketing materials to ascertain what credentials will culminate in the training, and we’ve also had to deconstruct course plans to see exactly what skills the participant will be learning and determine whether or not these skills are the ones valued by business and industry. Additionally, we’ve had to review all training options to see if there are other options for participants to get the same result in a more efficient timeframe. And lastly, we’ve had to learn how to ask the right questions to get at the answers needed for everyone to make informed decisions.
