Collaborate with Council of Industry Print All

Initiative Title	Collaborate with Council of Industry
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	2015
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Offer at least one program each year in response to training needs expressed by Council of Industry members. Serving the training needs of local manufacturers in collaboration with their professional association by hosting a program increases our offerings, increases our capacity through SUNY Workforce Development Training Grant funding, strengthens our partnership with the Council, gives us an opportunity to network with manufacturing employers and employees who may become clients, and assists local manufacturers with professional development for their employees, which in turn increases their efficiency and profitability.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	If the college does not continually work collaboratively with our partners in economic and workforce development for the benefit of the partners, the regional workforce, and the local economy, we will no longer be at the table when new employers come to the county in need of training and education, or when economic development agencies seek to provide training services to existing employers.
