Industry Partnerships

Industry Partnerships, which involve business leaders and organizations that share common products, needs, and challenges, are an important part of Partner4Work's fabric. By working with businesses, colleges, trade schools, community organizations, and economic development agencies, Partner4Work choreographs these partnerships to achieve the following:

• Close specific skills and training gaps
• Promote and advance employer-informed and recognized credentials and career pathways
