In this webinar, Towards Employment, a community-based nonprofit organization in Cleveland, OH, will share three innovations in programming developed through WorkAdvance initiative, a regional sector-specific career pathway program in manufacturing led by Towards Employment. Drawing on case studies developed through a Strategic Venture Fund grant from the National Network of Sector Partners (NNSP), Towards Employment will highlight the role that it has played in (1) an industry association partnership that led to accelerated outcomes; (2) a training cohort customization that increased access to training for low-skill individuals; and (3) a partnership with a local business to create a strategy for low-wage incumbent worker up-skilling and backfill with candidates from distressed neighborhoods. Each of the efforts highlighted broadened career pathway access through deeper collaborative partnerships and created additional advancement opportunities for low-wage and low-skill participants, and each case study will present realistic, complex, and contextually rich situations that showcase specific sector partnership opportunities that the WorkAdvance team leveraged to advance programming.

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.
1:00pm to 2:30pm Eastern
Well-implemented sector initiatives have been proven through rigorous, random-assignment research to increase the earnings of their participants – including specifically for youth. Young adult participants at Per Scholas, a sector initiative providing IT skills training in the Bronx, NY, earned 45% ($6,625) more than randomly-selected controls during the second year of the two-year study. In Philadelphia, the District 1199C Training & Upgrading Fund has developed a model sector initiative to introduce young people to careers in healthcare. In this webinar we will learn from both Per Scholas and the District 1199C Training & Upgrading Fund about their youth-serving sector programs, how they work, and the outcomes they have achieved for young people.
