Center partner, NAWDP, is teaming up with host sponsor Maryland Workforce Association to offer a Business Services Academy. This academy is designed to equip Business Services Representatives with the tools, knowledge, and expertise needed to excel in the ever-evolving landscape of business services. Participants will receive comprehensive training on core competencies, expert guidance on best practices, and career advancement and networking opportunities.
Center staff will be presenting the workshop, Registered Apprenticeship: An Employer Pipeline Solution and Why You Should be Selling It. Participants will understand how creating RA programs not only meets your employer's needs but also meets WIOA performance needs as well.
This Center of Excellence webinar will provide technical assistance for Case Managers and front-line staff to hear about the benefits and opportunities of co-enrolling Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) career seekers with Registered Apprenticeship (RA) programs. Discover the myriad of benefits RA offers your region and the apprentices, understand the essentials of co-enrolling participants in RA and WIOA, and learn about how to leverage WIOA funding to support registered apprenticeships for sustainable workforce development.
Apprenticeship Training Representatives (ATRs) and Business Services Representatives (BSRs) are key in system alignment for Registered Apprenticeship (RA) and the workforce system. By collaborating, ATRs and BSRs can rapidly accelerate effective employer outreach and engagement in RA nationwide. While both ATRs and BSRs have their own unique set of responsibilities, the overlap in their respective roles related to employer engagement presents a natural opportunity to collaborate for accelerating industry’s understanding and adoption of RA to build talent pipelines which will, in turn, benefit job seekers who are served by Local Workforce Development Board case managers.
This “capstone” training session is the culmination of the first four sessions which were developed for each stakeholder group focused on educating each group on the other’s work. This session will include interactive learning from workforce experts, feature effective ATR and BSR partnerships, and provide ATRs with the ability to engage directly with workforce staff from their area through geographic-based breakout rooms and begin discussing ways of implementing the training at the local level.
Topics to be addressed include collaboration basics, promising practices, networking between ATRs and BSRs, and next steps to foster relationships and collaboration in future work.
