GMACWorkforce's mission is to equip individuals with skills needed to land good paying jobs.
We identify company needs and work with local technical schools in preparation to succeed in the workplace. We facilitate access to agencies that address barriers so employees can focus on work and become more productive. We also assist employers with customized training programs so that incumbent and new hires possess the skills needed for near term success.
One of GMACWorkforce's core functions is building a series of industry-driven career pathways that:
- Engage sector-based employer councils in defining “career maps” that enumerate detailed skill requirements for each job position.
- Enlist K12 and postsecondary institutions to align their education and training programs around industry career maps and skill requirements.
Note: A key feature of successful career pathways is that each training institution carves out its role along the career training continuum and “articulates” its credits to the institutions handling training for other job positions on the career map. Shared facilities and faculty are also encouraged.
