Chambers and Community Colleges Working Together

The U.S. Chamber's Center for Workforce Preparation (CWP), in partnership with the American Association of Community Colleges, is developing a comprehensive guide for community colleges and chambers of commerce to create effective workforce development partnerships.

Chambers of commerce and community colleges often work independently of one another. This initiative will develop the capacity of chambers of commerce and community colleges to be more market-responsive and relevant to the local employment needs of the community businesses.

Goals/Objectives:

* To create a national dialogue on shared workforce priorities for community colleges and chambers of commerce.

* To highlight particularly relevant models of market-responsive community colleges.

* To develop toolkits for chambers of commerce and community colleges to utilize market-responsive strategies that meet the labor needs of the community.
