NEW JERSEY PATHWAYS TO CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Aligning Education to Build an Innovative Workforce

New Jersey’s Community Colleges and the New Jersey Business and Industry Association are joining together with employers, industry associations, labor unions, education institutions, and workforce development partners to provide students and workers with the career pathways they need to find new careers and opportunity, and to ensure that employers have access to a highly skilled workforce to meet critical labor market needs.

This initiative is firmly connected to the education and economic priorities of the Governor and the New Jersey Legislature. New Jersey’s Community Colleges, uniquely rooted in their local communities and with the statewide reach of few other institutions, and the New Jersey Business and Industry Association, the state’s largest employer organization, are uniquely positioned to lead an inclusive statewide effort.

The two components of this initiative will expand stackable credential pathways for individuals at all stages of their lives and careers and build an innovative workforce.

COLLABORATIVES (or industry collaboratives) are statewide all-inclusive groups of industry leaders and education partners focused on the labor market needs of four key industries to the state’s economy: (1) Health Services, (2) Infrastructure and Energy, (3) Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management, and (4) Technology and Innovation plus Emerging Industries. These Industry Collaboratives build talent ecosystems based on collaboration and information to expand economic mobility opportunity for New Jersey residents and drive economic growth for New Jersey businesses.
CENTERS OF WORKFORCE INNOVATION are work groups of cross education sector partners that build connected education and training pathways from high schools to community colleges to four-year colleges and universities, and include workforce development training as well as academic education focused on occupations within an industry. The Centers build connected education pathways that ensure that along one’s journey to credential and degree attainment in New Jersey there are multiple on-ramps and off-ramps and no dead-ends for students, adult learners, and workers when it comes to any training or education they invest their time.
