Requested Revision; The State will bring together providers of adult education, postsecondary education, training, career and technical education, eligible providers, libraries, and workforce partners to work with employers, and office of economic development to identify educational and training elements that will be necessary to establish appropriate pathways to employment. It is critical that these groups meet to develop programs and services that are in alignment with available employment opportunities. In addition to the State Employment Partners (STEP), meetings will be held regularly with one-stop partners and the local workforce boards to prioritize needs and identify resources that can be brought to bear to address these needs. With the establishment of a career pathways approach, educational and training providers will work with employers to identify sectors and identify the role various providers can play in aiding adults to pursue their career pathway for employment within that sector.
