RSBA GM Meeting April 2017

Beth Davisson, Executive Director of The Kentucky Workforce Center will be the April 2017 guest speaker. 

The Kentucky Chamber Workforce Center serves as the private sector’s resource for education and workforce initiatives designed to meet Kentucky’s pressing workforce challenges and focuses on the following areas:

• Business Leadership to represent the interests of the employer community in partnership efforts with the Governor and administration officials. The focus will be on aligning education, workforce and economic development at the policy and service-delivery levels.
• Network Development and Support to assist employers who serve on state and local workforce boards or participate in other workforce efforts. Information sharing, peer-to-peer communications and other supportive efforts will focus on ensuring consistency and collaboration across the state.
• Industry Collaboratives to build on the KY FAME model to bring together employers and workforce educators to define skill needs and create collaborative programs that provide sector-specific training opportunities for students and workers. (The KY FAME collaborative has gained national recognition for its focus on advanced manufacturing careers.)
• Effectively Using Data to determine the actual impact and outcomes of workforce training and development programs.
• Essential Skill Initiatives to address what employers identify as a critical problem with many workers – the lack of such basic personal management skills as showing up for work, communicating and getting along with colleagues and taking responsibility.
