Developing Effective Partnerships
Part 1. Dec. 7, 1-4 p.m., Room #8, Devens Learning Center (DLC)*
Part 2. Dec. 14, 1-4 p.m. Room #8, DLC*

Thinking about getting involved in workplace education? In this two-part 
workshop, we will explore the many different reasons for offering 
workplace education, and how your program can market workplace education 
services to employers, unions and workers. We'll review workplace 
education funding sources in Massachusetts, identify methods and 
resources for researching potential employer and union partners, and 
discuss what makes a good partner. We will discuss how to deal with 
employer and union expectations, and we'll role play making the first 
pitch to a potential employer or union partner.


Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Define what workplace education is and identify reasons for offering 
workplace education programs.
- Identify workplace education funding sources in Massachusetts, 
especially DOE/ACLS workplace education grants.
- Analyze potential employer and/or union partner perceptions and 
expectations for workplace education, and employer / union cultures.
- Develop criteria and identify types of employer and/or union partners 
where workplace education is needed and appropriate.
- Identify methods and resources for researching potential employer 
and/or union partners.
- Develop presentations/arguments for potential employer and/or union 
partners for offering workplace education.
