Learn about NextGen Sector Partnerships

Description

Are you looking for a tool to help address current challenges in business and industry?

NextGen Sector Partnerships are business-led and community-supported collaborations designed to strengthen local economies and build a skilled workforce. Business and industry leaders set the agenda, focusing on workforce and industry challenges that are impacting their organizations today and in the future.

Several successful NextGen Sector Partnerships are already operating across Wyoming. For example, Cheyenne and Laramie's Manufacturing NextGen Sector Partnership helped create an advanced manufacturing training center at Laramie County Community College. Participation in this virtual meeting and Next Gen is free, and when partnerships identify priority projects or initiatives, there may be grant opportunities available through the Wyoming Workforce Development Council to support those efforts. 

To learn more, we invite you to join a virtual information meeting on Sept 14 from 8:30 - 9:30 a.m. via Google Meet: Join with Google Meet.  A calendar invitation will follow separately.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We hope you can join us and share your insights on workforce and industry needs in Park County. Your input would be valuable as we work to strengthen opportunities for local businesses and the future workforce.

About the Next Gen Initiative

Next Generation Sector Partnerships are industry-driven and community-supported. They are partnerships of companies from the same industry in a shared labor market region that work with education, workforce development, economic development, and community organizations to tackle common needs of the targeted industry. They primarily focus on the education and workforce training needs of an industry, but Next Gen partnerships also focus on other issues related to an industry’s competitiveness. This ensures deeper, broader, and longer-term industry engagement.
