Current Narrative:

The CWDC serves as the convener of all partner agencies, both state and local, that compose the Talent Development System in Colorado. Regardless of a program’s status in regards to this combined plan, all entities are invited to strategic conversations on implementation through the WIOA Implementation Team as well as through the regular CWDC meetings. Specific initiatives are in place to support sector partnerships and career pathways and the events and committees are open to all interested parties.

As the activities detailed above are implemented, all partners will be invited to the table and efforts will be coordinated with existing initiatives and meeting schedules to ensure that a fair opportunity has been created for the involvement of other agencies. As discussed above, all one-stop partner programs will be invited to participate in the job-seeker services LEAN process and on the statewide business services team to focus on coordination and duplication reduction.

In 2017, the CWDC began hosting quarterly Education & Training Learning Circles, which feature presentations on new and innovative programs and a question and answer designed to create more alignment across programs. These Learning Circles are open to all community partners, not just WIOA partner programs. The CWDC also works with partners, such as Skillful and CareerWise, to support the alignment of their work to promote skills-based hiring and youth apprenticeships, respectfully, with the public workforce system.
