SCENARIO
“Business and schools existed in ivory towers. Business would say, ‘educatiors don’t meet my needs’ and educators would say, ‘business won’t help us.’ It wasn’t until the efforts of the Workforce Board and the local Workforce Development Councils brought parties together to sort through their differences and find ways to addresss both sides of system constraint (real-time need, institutional ability to respond quickly) that business needs began to be met.
