What We OfferWorkforce1 Partners, LLC is led by Jon Chara, a 25- year veteran of workforce and economic development. Most of his career has involved successful, real- world work in designing, funding, deploying, administering, managing and measuring innovative, economic growth and job creation systems within the sometimes constraining, often confusing, Workforce Investment Act environment. |
Our Basic StrategiesOur model of blended economic and workforce development has evolved through research and, primarily, over 25 years of hands-on experience working in One Stops, WIA administration, and economic development. We know what works and what doesn’t.
Transferable Skills: Obviously, technical (“hard”) skills are important. Our model adds so-called “soft” skills to the equation Tactical Level: Frankly, strategic planning is pointless unless each element can be / will be executed “in the trenches”; that’s the specialty of Workforce1 Partners, LLC Leverage: “silo” busting is mandatory. HOW you get partners and stakeholders to work together is what separates theory from experience Tools: The scale and scope of the tasks before a typical workforce board are daunting; we’ve spent years experimenting with, designing and customizing both workflow tools and software tools to help get the job done more quickly, for more people, for faster results Measurement: We start with quantifiable end results in mind, and create measurable benchmarks to gage progress |
