Make Employers The Champion of Your Program! Use Business Engagement Strategies and Employers Will Support you with Collaborative Projects, Career Pathways, Donating to Your Program, Providing Volunteers and Connections to More Employers and Much More!

This is a webinar! 

Do you have a well thought out effective strategic plan that will take your beginning level relationships with businesses to higher levels of collaboration and transform employers into powerful champions for your program? Are you getting the most benefits possible from your relationships with businesses? This webinar will transform the entry level use of your services by employers into powerful champion level partnerships that will take your program to new levels of success that you may never have thought possible!  This webinar is for staff and management of all types of workforce programs that provide any kind of service to employers.

There are many differences between what employers can bring to your program and what employer champions can bring to your organization.  Employer champions integrate things that will benefit your program into their business.  Champions can easily help you develop career pathways and apprenticeships.  They can improve and expand the use of internships, work experience, on-the-job training and earn and learn models.  Champions can raise money and donate equipment to your program.

Do you need more employers to use your services?  Champions can reach out to their supplier businesses, the members of their business associations, business customers and business owners they know from the community, and you will have as many employer partners as you like.  Employees and managers from the champion business can volunteer in your program and enhance the work of your staff and become mentors, coaches, role models and hidden job market connections for your program participants.  These are just a few of the many benefits that can come with turning businesses into the champions of your program!

But you need a well thought plan to get to these levels.  This webinar will give you the framework that will take you from the basic level of employer services, to partnership levels with employers and on to employers becoming the champions of your program.  Learn the types of activities that can take you on this business engagement journey.  Position your organization from the first use of your services to these services becoming the pathway to making employer champions.  Discover how to do the research that will help you identify the employers with the greatest champion potential for your organization even if they are not currently using your services.

This is not an easy process and there are many mistakes workforce organizations make that kill off the potential for businesses to become their champions.  The webinar includes valuable feedback from employers about what they see as the most common mistakes workforce programs make when they try to partner with them.  Learn to spot the early warning signs of failing engagement efforts so you can respond to them and keep your partnership on track.  Get a Business Engagement Resource List packed with examples of successful engagement efforts from around the country so you can envision how far this process can take you.

Chances are like most workforce organizations you are currently only getting a very small percentage of the benefits that can come with creating championship relationships with employers.  Business champions can have a powerful and positive impact on so many aspects of your program.  Instead of meeting your funding source performance standards, champions can help you exceed them.  They can transform your work with job seekers, employers, partners, funders, policy makers, the community and take your work to the highest levels of success.  Champions can play a role in improving your program design, building staff skills and make your program the state-of-the-art in workforce development.  Not only will your program benefit from this process the employers will also learn and benefit in many ways from their interactions with you.  Being a champion is a mutually beneficial relationship!

Career Development Professional Centre

Code of Conduct

Help us cultivate a Centre we all enjoy by reviewing and following the Code of Conduct.

Our Purpose

Thank you for being a part of the Career Development Professional Centre. To ensure that all members have the best possible experience, we have a few ground rules that we ask everyone to adhere to. This code of conduct applies equally to every person in the community and is intended to foster an online space that is inclusive, safe, and welcoming to all.

Centre Rules

Be welcoming

We strive to be a place that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. We aim to be a place that promotes excellence and innovation in career and workforce development. Please extend respect to all members; we all come from different backgrounds and levels of knowledge and there is no such thing as a stupid question.

Be respectful

We won’t all agree all the time, but when we disagree don’t let those disagreements turn into personal attacks. A place where people feel uncomfortable or threatened will not be a productive one. When having discussions in the online community, commenting on a library article, or participating in other Centre activities, strive for productive conversations around the content being presented, not the person behind the content. Any comments determined to be “hate speech” towards any individual or group will be deleted, and the user account may be locked until an investigation regarding the comment has been concluded. The user may be given a written warning or removed from the CPDC platform depending on the findings of the investigation.

Hate Speech could include and is not limited to:

  • Violent threats or language directed against another person
  • Discriminatory jokes, language, or materials
  • Defamatory or abusive language or materials
  • Profane or illegal materials
  • Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior

A good rule of thumb is to never say anything that you wouldn’t be comfortable with the world seeing or that you wouldn’t want anyone knowing came from you. We ask that you keep in mind the focus of this place, which is building excellence and innovation in career and workforce development for all individuals.

Be considerate of the purpose of the Centre

The Centre focuses on building excellence and discussing innovation in the career and workforce development field. The goal of the social learning community is to communicate goals, challenges, constructive feedback, and questions in relation to career and workforce development. The Centre should be a place for continued learning and development as well as a place to discuss the future of our field (solicitation without written consent by the Project or Advisory team, is strictly prohibited). Any post or comment that is determined to be soliciting any individual or group will be deleted, and the user account may be locked until an investigation regarding the post has been concluded. The user may be given a written warning or removed from the CPDC platform depending on the findings of the investigation.

Post your discussions or documents in the most appropriate group or topic

Especially within the social learning community, make reasonable efforts to ensure that posts and materials are allocated to the appropriate group or topic. This will prevent cluttering the feed and make it easier for everyone to find the information that they are seeking. Individuals who do this repeatedly will be contacted by one of the group admins and asked to follow these guidelines.

Privacy and Release of Information

CDPC-CEDC will not release your information to any third-party agencies.

Thank you and welcome to the CDPC
