About the Book

Many people who work in Workforce Development in Community Colleges have not had the benefit of courses or a degree program in Workforce Development. For that reason, when they join a community college, they often need a primer on the purpose, goals and nature of workforce development. This book is intended for that purpose. It can help newly-hired community college staff members, administrators, and even board of trustees members on the important workforce development mission of a community college.

Review :
From executives to front line staff, this is required reading for community college leaders who wish to prioritize economic development and industry-driven decisions on their campuses. What a collection of stellar community college leaders sharing their promising practices and strategies... Thisis a MUST READ for all community college staff AND faculty! The compendium of papers in Workforce Development: Guidelines for Community College Professionals provide insight into what community college staff must do to navigate through the intersection of two societal trends: skill shortages and the increased questioning of the value of post-secondary education. Taken together, the pieces in this collection highlight a set of lessons and/or practices that are critical to success: Reliance on data, partnerships, a focus on competencies, and the need to change how community colleges work. This volume promises to help disseminate these important lessons to all involved in community college workforce development.
