“In North Carolina, we have recognized the importance of collaboration between technical training, our public schools, our community colleges, our universities and our Department of Commerce because they all play a vital role in providing skilled labor to businesses across the state,” said North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory. “Preparing our workforce at the highest of levels not only strengthens our economy, but also puts states at a competitive advantage here at home and internationally. Workforce development is something all governors are focused on, and I look forward to working with other states to provide a high quality workforce throughout North Carolina and our nation,” he continued.
Selected states will receive grants and opportunities to learn from one another, as well as technical assistance from the NGA Center for Best Practices and outside experts. The opportunity also will help selected states make progress within the following areas:
- Articulate and implement a strong vision connecting the education and training systems with the needs of the economy;
- Integrate and use education and workforce data to inform policy, track progress and measure success;
- Build industry and education partnerships; and
- Modify the use of resources and incentives to support attainment of the integrated vision.
