The J2J Workforce Development Action Plan
J2J: Journey to Jobs Workforce Summit
History
In 2005, the Local Workforce Investment Boards (WIB) engaged in a strategic planning process to develop a Three-Year Comprehensive Plan.As a component of the plans, the WIBs are directed to act as the conveners and facilitators of a workforce development strategy for their local community. As part of this mission, the Onondaga County and Cortland/Cayuga County WIBs collaboratively engaged a community team to facilitate a partnership approach to planning a multi-faceted agenda leading to and following a “workforce summit” event.
Journey to Jobs Summit Plan
From these meetings, a draft Workforce Action Agenda will be developed and presented to the community at the Journey 2 Jobs Summit.The summit will be held on March 29, 2007.The summit goal is to enlist the aid and expertise of the community and to set priorities and actions for the agenda.
The planned outcome of J2J is an action plan identifying specific initiatives that will encourage a transformational workforce for our entire community so that our community can support the employers is has and those it wants now and in the future.
