Sector Initiatives and Career Pathways – Policy Lessons from the Alliance for Quality Career Pathways

You are here

Date: 
11 December, 2014

12:00pm to 1:30pm Eastern

The Alliance for Quality Career Pathways, led by the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP), has worked with partners in ten leading career pathway states to establish a common understanding of quality career pathways and systems – a framework that explicitly incorporates elements of the sector approach and provides a basis for integration of the two models. In this webinar, representatives of CLASP and the National Network of Sector Partners (NNSP) will share the characteristic strengths of sector initiatives and career pathways, and how these strengths can be combined for the benefit of both workers and their employers. Then, leaders from two participating states – California and Oregon – will share information about policy and practice in their states that support a sector-based career pathways approach in the context of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and the increasing importance of the sector and career pathways models.

Panelists:

  • Judy Mortrude, Director, Alliance for Quality Career Pathways, Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP)
  • Shalee Hodgson, Education Division Director, Community Colleges and Workforce Development, State of Oregon
  • Van Ton-Quinlivan, Vice Chancellor of Workforce and Economic Development, California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office
  • Jim Torrens, Program Manager, National Network of Sector Partners (NNSP), Insight Center for Community Economic Development
