Sector strategies for workforce development are employer-led partnerships within a single industry that bring together government, education, training, economic development, and other community organizations to focus on the needs of that industry, within a regional labor market.
North Carolina sector strategies:
- Provide a means for industry to directly engage with public partners across traditional boundaries. Businesses operate in economic regions that may cross city, county, and state lines and education and economic development areas. NC sector strategies work across the boundaries to identify and address specific needs of both large and small employers in almost every industry.
- Involve an employer-led collaborative that gives industry a voice. N.C. sector strategies have employers define and set the agenda. This forum offers a mechanism for business leaders to identify issues important to them and allows public partners to efficiently focus scarce resources on industries that are major job providers in an area.
